We have enacted an actionable security plan with near-term (NT) and longer-term (LT) actions to increase the safety and security among the people who live in Buckhead, people who work in Buckhead, and people who visit Buckhead on business, for shopping, and for entertainment. Plan implementation has been collaborative, utilizing both private and public sector resources, but with the goal of increasing public sector support and avoiding over-reliance on private sector contributions.

As we continue with the implementation of this plan, it is important to keep in mind potential threats to our success:

· Further attrition and decline in morale at APD

· Increasing brazenness among party-goers, their hosts, and street racers, if a response to their actions is not forthcoming

· A potential reduction in Zone 2 manpower due to private sector investment in this public safety program

· Worsening or unabated spread of COVID

· Potential civil unrest due to events beyond our control

· Budget pressure on City of Atlanta and APD

· Tax base erosion due to a business and residential exodus if unlawful behavior is not substantially curtailed

In recognition of the fact that Buckhead has for many years worked independently to install a robust security infrastructure, this plan leverages the resources that are already in place and proposes new opportunities for improvement under this new framework. Atlanta's Operation Shield camera and license plate reader network, and the Greater Atlanta Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line are just two of the long-standing programs that will fortify this plan.
