Police Officers Complete Year 1 of Buckhead Coalition Residency Program to Curtail Crime

Four police officers participating in the Buckhead Coalition’s residency program have reached their one-year anniversary and have renewed for a second year. 

In total, the Coalition has provided incentive bonuses to 15 officers who have accepted the request to move into Buckhead.    

The total in grants available per officer is $3,000; $1,000 of which is contributed by the Atlanta Police Foundation.   

Coalition President Sam Massell describes the program as “a win-win for the city, the community, and the Police Department.

There are uniformed men and women visiting grocery stores, restaurants, and other business establishments daily as they live among us and move through our Community in a way that greatly increases the exposure of law enforcement as a genuine deterrent to crime.”
