A local police chief was quoted in the AJC saying: "One of the complaints (we get) is 'I never see a police officer in my neighborhood'" and we in daVille can relate. So what's a chief to do? Well in this case they're rolling out half a hundred new SUV's with POST-certified officers at the helm. And they're rolling out a system that tracks the location of patrol cars so when community questions arise the chief can pull a report showing specific dates and times when a location was patrolled. The public safety director provided color commentary: "the vehicles themselves are an element of overall crime reduction strategies."
Wow. Just...wow.
What is going on here? A police force that is actually serious about serving the community? How does that work and why would any modern day police chief allow this? These days Dunwoody is the gold standard with a top heavy force where majors tool around in their Aeron's costing payroll that other departments (see above) would spend on community patrols.
And where is this "serve and protect" police force? Happens to be the DeKalb County Police. That's right, the very same force that was rejected upon incorporation. Dunwoody is making DeKalb look good and at the same time our little "Smart City" is making Tucker look brilliant.
