Here are the top three stories in Dacula today:

1. Gwinnett County Police Chief J.D. McClure is encouraging county residents to stay up-to-date on crime trends. County residents can access the crime activity data through CrimeMapping.com. The web-based system plots police reports onto an interactive map for users. Remaining updated on crime trends will empower residents to keep their communities safe, according to Chief McClure.

2. Sports Turf Company has completed renovations on the final Gwinnett County Public Schools stadiums. The company specializes in sports construction and surfacing. The last stage of the project was transitioning 14 school facilities to artificial playing surfaces. The artificial turf will be safer, more durable, and higher performing. (Gwinnett Prep Sports)
