Home Park Meet & Greet

Posted by Admin On 10:02:00 AM
The Home Park Community Improvement Association along with Georgia Tech Student Government Association hosted a public safety awareness meet and greet in late August. The purpose of the event was to provide students and residents of Home Park safety tips and contact information for public safety. Presentations were provided by Atlanta Police, MARTA Police, and Georgia Tech Police officials.

Other campus safety initiatives are ongoing. Tech has unveiled new campus safety programs and City of Atlanta Council President Ceasar Mitchell commissioned a campus safety task force which included police chiefs, student leaders, and administrators from Emory University, Georgia State University, Atlanta Metropolitan, the Atlanta University Center schools, and Tech. The task force met weekly over a six week period to develop a comprehensive plan aimed at increasing campus safety. 

Recommendations include integrating campus video cameras with existing City of Atlanta cameras, creating legislation for campus safety crime free zones, and partnering with Crime Stoppers and the Atlanta Police Foundation to create reward funds for tips leading to arrest. Last, GTPD recently released its 2012 Annual Campus Safety report. To see a copy of the report click the following link: http://www.police.gatech.edu/documents/brochure.pdf.
