The Buckhead Security Plan
Atlanta’s model for safety & security
Partnerships, persistence and planning for a better Buckhead and a better Atlanta.
In October of 2020 a number of public and private sector interests came together to discuss what might and should be done to address an increase in unlawful behavior in Buckhead that had reached a point where outcry from the public demanded action. Those entities that were represented in the development of this security plan are:
- The Buckhead Coalition
- The Atlanta Police Foundation
- Atlanta City Council
- Fulton County Commission
- City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office
- Atlanta Police Department, Zone 2
- The Buckhead Community Improvement District
- Livable Buckhead
- Buckhead Business Association
- Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods
- NPUs A, B, and C
Plans Goal:
To develop an actionable security plan, with near-term and longer-term goals, for the purpose of increasing the safety and security among the people who live, work, and visit Buckhead on business, for shopping, and for entertainment. This plan will be collaborative, with both private and public sector support, but will be intended to lead to greater public sector support without over-reliance on private sector contributions.
