MOORESVILLE, NC – The Town of Mooresville is actively addressing leaf season by increasing the number of vacuum trucks serving residents on scheduled collection days. Over the coming weeks, crews will pick up leaves in addition to normal garbage, recycling, and yard waste.

To make the leaf collection process as efficient as possible, please remember:
Do not bag leaves
Do not mix leaves with brush or other debris. The Town does not pick up mulch, dirt, and rocks
Do not park in front of or within three feet of leaf piles
Do not place leaves near storm drains. The loose leaves may clog up the storm drain and, in turn, flood the streets
Keep leaf piles three feet from other objects, including garbage or recycling cans and mailboxes
Residents should have leaves ready to pick up by 6 a.m. on their normal yard waste collection day. Due to scheduling during leaf season, crews cannot go back to pick up piles put out behind them. The large volume of leaves to be collected may cause delays in service. However, crews will ensure all residences are serviced as quickly as possible.

MPD’s Faust Graduates from FBI National Academy

MOORESVILLE, NC – The Mooresville Police Department (MPD) announced that Second Assistant Chief Rhonda Faust recently graduated from the FBI National Academy (FBINA) as a member of the 295th session. The graduation took place at the National Academy in Quantico, Virginia, on September 4th, 2025. Faust becomes the third officer in department’s history—and the first female MPD officer—to complete this prestigious program.

Nationally, less than one percent of officers have the opportunity to attend the program.

Internationally known for its academic excellence, the National Academy offers 10 weeks of advanced communication, leadership, and fitness training. Participants must have proven records as professionals within their agencies to attend. On average, these officers have 21 years of law enforcement experience and usually return to their agencies to serve in executive-level positions.

The 295th session consisted of 254 law enforcement officers including men and women from 49 states and the District of Columbia. The class includes members of law enforcement agencies from 20 countries, 10 members of six military organizations, and four federal civilian organizations.

“I want to sincerely thank Chief Campurciani for the support and encouragement that allowed me the opportunity to attend the FBI National Academy,” said Faust. “I am also deeply grateful to my family and friends for their unwavering support over the past ten weeks. To my co-workers, thank you for taking on extra duties in my absence so I could focus on this experience.”

“Attending the Academy gave me the chance to learn from—and alongside—amazing leaders from across the world,” added Faust. “The leadership training, national networking, and advanced coursework have equipped me with new strategies and best practices that I’m excited to bring back to our department and the Town of Mooresville, ensuring we continue to grow, adapt, and serve with excellence.”

Faust has nearly 29 years of experience with the Mooresville Police Department, where she began her career as a patrol officer in 1997. She was MPD’s first traffic officer and helped lay the foundation for the department’s current Traffic Unit. In April 2020, she became the department’s first female Captain. She is also the first female Assistant Chief in department history and currently holds the distinction of being the longest-serving female officer at MPD.
