Please take these alerts very seriously, as September and October are the worst months for burglaries in our area. We've had a very low rate of burglaries and robberies in East Atlanta and the adjoining areas of Dekalb County in 2014, but that can change quickly. If you aren't a member of the patrol, we are running a promotion that the month of September is free for new members. Even a three month membership will help support extra patrols all the way through December.
The EASP allocates patrols based on the concentration of membership in your area, so more members on your street means more frequent patrols. We would love to see far more participation on streets like Ora and McPherson that traditionally haven't had a lot of members.
