Neighborhood Security Patrol

About the Security Patrol

In October 1998 the Security Patrol was organized at the request of several hundred neighborhood residents. We are fortunate to have been able to retain the services of two fine retired Atlanta police officers that previously worked in this neighborhood from Zone 2.

Officers Doug Cole and Jim Hendrix have over 50 years of combined experience. They share the duties, with one officer patrolling at a time 8 hours a day five days a week during the time most break-ins occur. They are in full police uniform and drive in unmarked vehicles. The patrol monitors the police radio and is the first to arrive when a crime or emergency is reported or when a burglar alarm goes off during patrol hours. The patrol checks houses, investigates suspicious vehicles and persons, evicts solicitors, responds to alarm systems, checks your doors and windows when you are out of town and makes arrests.

The cost of the patrol is $200 a year. Subscribers receive a mailbox decal, telephone stickers and access to our security hotline as well as daily house and property surveillance.
Previous subscribers will receive a 2002 overlay for the existing decal. For further information, please call the Security Patrol at 404-310-7361.
