 EACA Public Safety - Crime Report Week 20
The weekly detailed crime report for May 10th - May 16th:
 East Atlanta Security Patrol News & Information
EASP Logo
If you are aware of any ATVs that are roaming the roads of East Atlanta, please submit an e-mail to [email protected]. Please tell us the exact address of the owner if at all possible, as notification that they're driving down the street generally isn't helpful. We'll be working with APD to reduce or eliminate the use of these vehicles in our area, but we need your help in identifying the owners of these vehicles.
 
To learn more about the East Atlanta Security Patrol or to enroll, visit the EASP website (http://patrol.eaca.net). The cost to join the patrol is $50 per quarter, with a 50% discount for longtime residents and those 65+. To qualify, you must have lived at the same address for 20 years or be over age 65.  We also have a 20% discount for members of an APD-sanctioned Neighborhood Watch.  Please contact us if you're interested in setting up a Neighborhood Watch on your street.
 
If you have additional questions, please direct them to [email protected], or call EACA Public Safety Chair Myron Polster at 404-429-8815.
