• Douglasville Police Department reminds residents never to leave a child unattended in a vehicle! The possibilities of something bad happening to a child unattended in a vehicle are endless. What if they get too hot? What if the vehicle is stolen? What if they get choked on something? Keep your vehicle locked so children can't get in while the vehicle is parked and always check your back seat. (Facebook)
