The property manager at the Edgewood Retail District would like all patrons to program the following number into their phones in the event of a threatening situation or to report anything amiss:  678-618-2308.  This is ERD’s 24 hour security number.       

Contact APD by dialing 911 from your home or cell phone for any/every incidence of crime or suspicious behavior.  Program 404-658-6666 into your cell phone for a prompter response.  Tell the operator you’re in APD’s Zone 6, Beat 608 if your location does not automatically come up on the operator’s screen.  It’s also a good idea to give a call back number.  Use 311 for non-security related issues such as missing manhole covers, side walk problems, etc.
