SUSPECTS CHECK VEHICLES FOR UNLOCKED DOORS DunwoodyPolice 2019-08-15 | On August 9, 2019 around 4:00am, several suspects were observed on camera walking through the parking lot of an apartment complex in Dunwoody and pulling on vehicle door handles to check for unlocked doors. We decided to share this video with you to spread awareness of the importance of locking your vehicle doors and taking keys and valuables out of your vehicle. As you can see in the video, when the suspects pulled on the door handles of vehicles that were locked, they skipped over it and went to the next vehicle. Once they encountered an unlocked door, they made entry and rummaged through it, looking for anything of value to take. This is what is considered a 'Crime of Opportunity.' Don't give criminals the opportunity to make you a victim of a crime. #LockTakeHide (AS)

2017 LE Selfie Challenge DunwoodyPolice 2017-11-15 | LAW ENFORCEMENT SELFIE CHALLENGE 2017 This summer, the Metro Atlanta Law Enforcement Social Media Group (MALESMG) – which is a collaboration of social media teams from law enforcement agencies in the Metro Atlanta area and beyond, kicked off the very first #LESelfieChallenge. A little background: MALESMG team agency, Norcross Police Department (GA), initially began posting selfies of different staff members on their Facebook page, sharing an unusual or unknown fact about each person. They used the hashtag #NPDSelfieChallenge and were so successful with their project, they agreed to collaborate with the entire MALESMG group to take their project statewide and beyond. During the months of May-July of 2017, participating LE agencies challenged each other to periodically introduce a member of its staff by posting a Selfie on their social media platform(s), along with a “Fun Fact” about that person or image. Readers responded by Liking, Commenting and Sharing the posts – which reached as far out as California, Illinois and Texas! This project was a significant contribution towards ongoing #HumanizeTheBadge efforts, promoting law enforcement personnel “as people too.” “Our goal, really, was to help connect members of law enforcement agencies to the communities they serve, allowing the public to see the human side of agency staff. “ said MALESMG Founder, Chief Billy Grogan of the Dunwoody Police Department, “Not to mention, it’s a lot of fun!” **If your agency is interested in learning strategies on how to “grow” your social media presence, consider joining our team – it’s free and we meet quarterly!

Citizens on Patrol Roll-Out DunwoodyPolice 2016-11-16 | November 15, 2016, 9:00 a.m. marks the official Inauguration and Roll-Out for the Dunwoody Police Department’s newest community based program, Citizens on Patrol.Eight former graduates of our Citizens’ Police Academy were introduced to Dunwoody City Council members at last night’s City Council meeting as the very first Citizens on Patrol members.

Each volunteer patrol on the streets will increase both community safety and department effectiveness by adding more eyes and ears on the road, and by freeing up sworn police officers to complete other critical tasks.

New sensors give Dunwoody Police easy access to gated communities DunwoodyPolice 2016-03-23 | August 10, 2015 - WSBTVDunwoody Police are using new sensors that allow them to now quickly respond to emergencies.Up until last week, officers had to track down property managers or have a code to get into gated communities, but now gates automatically open for them as they approach an entrance. “It was an issue that was chronic. Officers would have to ask for gate codes to the complex and it’s those little delays from one to five minutes of you getting to call and if it’s a fight in progress or robbery call, time is of the essence and we need to be in there right away,” said Officer Timothy Fecht with the Dunwoody Police Department. One Dunwoody resident told Channel 2’s Craig Lucie that he has spotted officers locked out. “I’ve seen a police officer try to get in the gate during an emergency, and it looked really problematic because they had to yell at someone to get in. Now it’s so much better,” said resident Marc Ford. Fecht told Lucie that officers always ran into problems getting in. “Unfortunately when new management comes in, they change the codes and we wouldn’t have access to those gate codes. We would have to call somebody or contact the management the next day and say what’s your current gate code?” Fecht said. At $400 to $500 a piece, Dunwoody City Council passed an ordinance requiring every gated community to have a Siren Operated Sensor or SOS. They use radio frequency identification technology or RFID to emit a signal from the sensor in the officer’s car to a small antenna mounted on a gate. Police can adjust the sensitivity so they can open from 10 feet away or up to 150 feet away. Dunwoody police say they are now looking to help other departments. “We are also going to reach out to fire department and provide DeKalb fire with the devices for trucks that way EMS and the fire department can get in there as well," Fecht said.Dunwoody police are paying for the devices. The city says all gated communities, which there are more than 30 in Dunwoody, will have to have the sensors installed by March of next year.
