Last week, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department's Northeast Service Area Divisions exchanged their police gear for aprons and BBQ tools, fiercely competing for the ultimate title: BBQ champion. According to a social media post made by CMPD News, the various divisions went head-to-head, each smoking their own pulled pork and brisket in an attempt to outdo one another and take home the golden grill master trophy.

 

 

The air was charged with the aroma of smoky meats as the divisions brought their A-game, showcasing an array of BBQ techniques and flavors. "Despite the fierce (& delicious) competition," the Hickory Grove Division managed to deftly cook their way to the top, impressing the judges and securing their victory. The CMPD News post celebrates the division’s win, offering congratulations to the cookoff winners.
