Gwinnett Safe Communities
Join the Gwinnett County Police Department and the Gwinnett Place Community Improvement District’s efforts to promote safety throughout the business district. Gwinnett Safe Communities is a new countywide public safety program. Participating will enhance emergency preparedness by enabling police, fire and public safety professionals to better assess and rapidly respond to criminal activity and emergencies.
The Gwinnett County Police Department has initiated the Gwinnett Safe Communities program to improve safety and security across Gwinnett County, allowing property and business owners to integrate the video feeds from their security cameras directly to the police department. This connection is made possible through a FususCORE device, a video gateway. For more information, please visit GwinnettSafeCommunities.org.
As a partner in this effort, the Gwinnett Place CID is providing a reimbursement grant equal to the cost of installation and the first year’s subscription fee for one FususCORE lite bundle, which supports up to four camera feeds. Please note that program reimbursement funds are limited and available only to properties/businesses in the Gwinnett Place CID. By participating in the CID’s FususCORE Reimbursement Grant Program, you can help promote the safety of those visiting and working throughout Gwinnett Place. For more information, please click here.
Community Patrols/Gwinnett Place Ambassadors
In addition to CID staff, the Gwinnett Place CID partners with Signal, a private sector organization to enhance the public safety environment throughout Gwinnett’s central business district with community patrols. Serving as ambassadors, the officers work 24-hours a day, seven days a week to ensure everyone is welcome and safe. They are on the streets daily helping guests find their way, assisting businesses, promoting safety and discouraging criminal activity. The CID’s community patrols are a community-based public safety resource. While the community patrols are not law enforcement, the CID does work in close partnership with Gwinnett County Police.
Automatic License Plate Reading Camera System
The CID has formed a multi-year partnership with Flock Safety, the only automatic license plate reading (ALPR) camera system built specifically for neighborhoods, businesses, and law enforcement. Under the partnership, 65 ALPR cameras have been installed throughout the Gwinnett Place area. The solar-powered, wireless cameras have the ability to quickly and easily capture the evidence police need to track a lead. The cameras are one of Gwinnett Place CID’s largest investments. The partnership reflects one of the CID’s key focus areas in enhancing public safety.
