In an effort to tightly secure the Perimeter district, a dynamic duo has formed between the DeKalb Perimeter Community Improvement District (DeKalb PCID) and the Dunwoody Police Department. A generous fund of $173,350 has been sunk into a two-year Public Safety Technology Partnership, a move touted to significantly bolster the safety for those residing and visiting the region.
With growth spiraling at a rapid clip in this district, known for its bustling corporate headquarters, the partnership vows to readily combat crime with high-end tech. According to PerimeterCID.org, the new alliance will bring into play a Flock Safety system equipped with Falcon license plate readers, a Raven gunshot detection system, and state-of-the-art Condor pan-tilt-zoom cameras. Such measures are engineered not just to deter wrongdoers but also to sharpen rapid response and thorough investigation.
"This partnership underscores our dedication to creating a safe and secure environment for everyone in the Perimeter community," Ann Hanlon, Executive Director of the Perimeter CIDs, stated emphatically in an announcement by the City of Dunwoody. The collective aim here is clear: to anticipate and address the evolving safety needs with a proactive stance.
Dunwoody's top cop, Chief Mike Carlson, weighed in to endorse the mutual initiative, saying, "We are pleased about the opportunities this partnership presents to enhance public safety in Dunwoody." It's a sentiment that has been echoed across the departments looking to better serve and secure their community’s environment, as reported by the City of Dunwoody.
