Several weeks ago Chief Grogan was at a public meeting and he took a question on the problem of cell phone calls to 911 being routed through the wrong 911 center from an adjoining municipality.  More than 80 percent of calls to 911 come from cell phones which are not tied back to a specific address therefore opting in to the Smart911 service by registering your information into the 911 databeses will assist you and the 911 operator in a time of emergency.   Please register.

National Night Out - Tues Aug 6th at Target from 6 to 9 p.m.


Great Family and Kids Event - Come on Out!

On Tuesday, August 6, 2019, the Brookhaven Police Department and the Dunwoody Police Department will co-host the 36th Annual National Night Out (NNO) event. This community event will be held from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Target, located at 100 Perimeter Center Place in Dunwoody.

Sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch, National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, better places to live.

This year, the two hosting Police Departments will have patrol cars, SWAT vehicles and other specialty vehicles on display. The DeKalb County Fire/Rescue Department will also have fire trucks and other pieces of equipment on display. Police Officers, Fire/Rescue personnel and 9-1-1 personnel will be on hand to answer any questions related to vehicles, personnel or public safety operations.
In addition to public safety organizations, many local businesses and community groups will have display booths set up. Music and entertainment will be provided, along with free food and drinks donated by many local stores and members of the community.
