New Unincorporated Security Patrol
|
The East Atlanta Community Association, in conjunction with the East Atlanta Security Patrol, is planning to start a Security Patrol for the adjoining areas of unincorporated Dekalb County. Here is a link to the proposed boundaries of the new patrol. These boundaries are not finalized. We need the community's feedback on whether you would be willing to support such an effort. Please respond to dekalb360@gmail.com or 209-878-7360 with your address and contact information if your household would support such a patrol based on the cost and general parameters outlined below. If we don't receive sufficient interest from an area, we could redraw the map to exclude your area. If we receive interest from areas not currently on the map, we could redraw the map to include your area. Be sure to tell your neighbors and friends to contact us as well in order to guarantee that your street or neighborhood is included on the final patrol map.
- Proposed start date of January 1, 2014, with enrollment starting on Dec. 1st
- Off-duty Dekalb County officers will staff the patrol
- Officers will be electronically monitored to ensure patrols are effective
- Hours of patrols will be based on community need
- Patrol frequency in each area will be based on paid members in that area
- Members will be able to submit requests for extra patrols when they're out of town
- All members of the community will have full access to the patrol phone and email
- Proposed cost for membership is $200 per year, $50 per year for senior citizens
- Information will be shared continuously with DKPD, APD and the East Atlanta Security Patrol
- Meeting at South Precinct in first week of December to answer community questions

| SMART 911 |
 The service allows citizens to proactively provide details on their family and their home that 9-1-1 may need in order to send help in the event of an emergency.
Smart911 is provided by Rave Mobile Safety, and is a service free to citizens. Smart911 is funded by local municipalities. The service allows citizens to proactively provide details on their family and their home that 9-1-1 may need in order to send help in the event of an emergency.
When you dial 9-1-1 today the information received by the 9-1-1 call center can be limited based on the type of phone you are calling on. With Smart911, anytime you make an emergency call from a phone registered with your Safety Profile, the 9-1-1 system recognizes your phone number and automatically displays your profile on the screen of the call taker who receives your call.
At a time when you may be panicked, or unable to communicate, or it could be unsafe to communicate, Smart911 ensures that the details you would need to tell 9-1-1 are immediately available in the event you cannot verbally provide them. Visit www.smart911.com for more information and to sign up for this free service. |

East Atlanta Security Patrol Update | |
 The East Atlanta Security Patrol ("EASP") is an effort to enhance safety in East Atlanta. Specifically, off-duty Zone Six Police Officers will be hired to perform additional patrols within Beat 612, which is the police designation for the East Atlanta community, beyond those presently being performed by the police. The amount of time that the officers shall patrol will be determined by the level of support from the community in terms of membership. Since more members mean more patrol hours, we encourage you to share this information with your neighbors and East Atlanta business owners. Both residents and businesses must be within the City of Atlanta to become a member. Donations to the EASP may be made by anyone.
For the week of October 20-26, eight crimes were reported.
