The Atlanta Police Foundation TABLE OF CONTENTS The APF Community Policing

APF Programs Major Projects Trellis LPR Network

The Atlanta Police Foundation (APF) was established in 2003 to provide vital support to the Mayor, the Chief of Police and the Atlanta Police Department. The organization is based on a publicprivate partnership model that has proven to be highly effective in the prevention and reduction of crime in other major cities. Since its inception, the APF has worked to secure and leverage private resources to fund high priority projects designed to enhance the City of Atlanta’s ability to fight and prevent crime.

• Through the work of the APF, since 2003, there has been an increase in number of police officers on the streets and an increase in the engagement of Atlanta’s business community and neighborhood residents in fighting crime.

The TIC Pilots & Programs The Westside

• Additionally, the City has experienced a 58 percent reduction in the violent crime rate and a 41 percent reduction in crimes overall. Furthermore, Atlanta moved from being ranked the second most violent city in America to the twenty-fifth.

Partnership: Community Policing TABLE OF CONTENTS The APF

Community policing is a philosophy that promotes organizational strategies, which support the systematic use of partnerships and problem solving techniques, to proactively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues, such as crime, social disorder, and fear of crime.

Community Policing •

Community policing focuses on crime and social disorder through the delivery of police services that includes aspects of traditional law enforcement, as well as prevention, problem-solving, community engagement, and partnerships.

•

The community policing model balances reactive responses to calls for service with proactive problemsolving centered on the causes of crime and disorder.

•

Community policing requires police and citizens to join together as partners.
