I'm very happy to report that after months of recovery from a severely fractured leg and ankle sustained while chasing a murder suspect, I am back on patrol in Underwood Hills.  I look forward to seeing you all around the neighborhood.

In the last 2-week period, September 6 - 19, 36 incidents were reported in Beat 204.  Of those, none occurred in the area we patrol.  A breakdown of incidents reported in the surrounding area:

Significant Incidents:

On September 10, 2025, a DoorDash driver attempted to make a delivery to an apartment at 1700 Commerce Drive.  The customer was displeased with the delivery and allegedly threatened the driver with a firearm.  The incident is under investigation by the Aggravated Assault Unit.

Best,

Kevin

After months of community consultation things seem to be moving extremely fast on this front.
Thank you to UHNA Leaders for providing timely information.

Natalia provides this brief summary with useful links;
Atlanta Public Schools (APS) has launched a fast-tracked facilities
consolidation plan that affects many schools across the city,
including those in our North Atlanta community.
You can review the official APS presentation here (pdf also available below):
​
What’s Happening?
APS is proposing to close and consolidate schools across Atlanta,
citing underutilization. They claim there are 70,000 available seats
but only 50,000 students currently enrolled — a gap they say must
be addressed immediately.

Among other things, what seems to be causing great worry among
some APS stakeholders (teachers, parents, community) is the
timeline being proposed by the District for a decision of this
magnitude. APS plans to finalize its recommendation by
November and adopt the final plan by December— a mere three-
month turnaround.
