You can join the Security Patrol via this link.

In the last two-week period (Jan 29 – Feb 11), 43 incidents were reported in Beat 204. Of those, only one was reported in the area we patrol.

On February 17, 2022, a resident on Woodland Hills reported an incident via APD’s online citizen reporting system. The resident was attempting to sell something via Facebook Marketplace and detected a very high potential for fraud during the transaction. I have read the report. and he was absolutely right. Hats off  to the resident for being cautious about this transaction and pulling out before falling victim to the scammer!

Trees Atlanta publishes a new list of the Champion Trees in metro Atlanta each year. The annual list is updated with new champions that are discovered and verified in the past year and as old champions disappear from the landscape.

Many Hands Remove Tons of Weeds!

2/14/2022

 
A stalwart crew of volunteers tackled mountains of invasive woody plants in UH Park last Saturday. Removal of invasive plants is essential to the health of our Certified Wildlife Habitat. Without it, native species are smothered and choked to extinction, leaving no food or homes for native animals. Most of these exotic interlopers are escapees from gardens, sold as “quick fixes” by local nurseries. You can join the next Forest Restoration, Saturday March 12, 9am-12noon, signup at treesatlanta.org.

Security Patrol Update Jan. 15–28

2/14/2022

 
​In the last 2-week period (Jan 15–28), 36 incidents were reported in Beat 204. Of those, none occurred in the area we patrol. One incident involving Internet-based fraud was reported by a resident. We have recently received some new complaints about an Airbnb on Ridgeway Avenue. We have advised residents to call 911 and then the patrol phone for any drug use, loud noise or other disturbances. We’ve emphasized the importance of documenting these complaints through 911 instead of waiting until the next UH Patrol shift begins so that supporting evidence/documentation can be retrieved in the event a complaint is filed with Airbnb directly by residents. The patrol will continue to monitor the situation.

A breakdown of other activity reported in the area:
Count
Theft from Motor Vehicle (23F)12
Destruction/Damage/Vandalism of Property Under $500 (290)4
Destruction/Damage/Vandalism of Property Over $500 (290)4
Lost Property4
