News How to get the APD's attention: Attend Georgia Tech
Posted by Mara Shalhoup on Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 7:57 PM
From an AJC story about an uptick in burglaries near Tech's campus:
More police will hit the streets to help combat a spike in crime targeting Georgia Tech students, officials said.Georgia Tech and Atlanta Police have scheduled a press conference for 3 p.m. today to announce the steps they are taking to stop the crime spike.
Funny, when a bartender was murdered in January at his place of work on Memorial Drive — following a string of burglaries and robberies in the area — I don't remember a press conference being called by police. (Only after detectives caught one of the bartender's killers did the Atlanta Police Department hold a press conference.) Nor was there the promise of more patrol officers working the street.
