Gwinnett Place CID is taking public safety to the next level with the launch of 24/7 community patrols, a major step forward in creating a more secure and welcoming environment across the district.

In partnership with Signal, the CID has deployed uniformed Gwinnett Place Ambassadors who now provide around-the-clock coverage in coordination with established CID patrols — acting as a consistent, visible presence to deter crime, assist the public and support local businesses. These ambassadors are out in the community, reinforcing the CID’s ongoing commitment to safety and revitalization.

Learn more about this important initiative and its impact in the district in our press release.
