t, CITY OF ATLANTA DEPARTMENT of POLICE Atlanta 3, Georgia August 14, 1967 HERBERT T . JENKINS Ch ief Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. City Hall Atlanta, Georgia My dear Mr. Mayor: This department is receiving more and more demands for additional police services in public housing projects because the very nature of the project requires a large number of people, of various social standards, to live together in a very small area. We feel that the housing authorities, both private and public, should share in the expense of this security by employing one full time security officer for each project. The most frequent problems are petty larceny, breaking of windows and screens, and other vandalism by juveniles. A full time security guard is needed on the premises at all times to help protect the property and the occupants. If the housing authorities could employ such a guard, this department could swear them in as special officers, to protect the property of the owners and to notify the police if any assistance is needed. The housing projects that are most urgently in need of such security at this time are: Bowen Homes Capitol Homes Carver Homes John J. Eagen Homes Henry Grady Homes Joel Chandler Harris Homes Alonzo F . Herndon Homes Techwood Homes Perry Homes University John Hope Homes If you approve of this proposal, please pass it along to the proper authorities with a r equest that it be done. HTJ:gp (~\ ~ �
