Update – Overnight Cruising and Drug Activity Near Piedmont Park
In response to complaints from the neighborhood about apparent drug activity along 10th Street and in the park especially during overnight hours, APD has been proactively addressing the drug and nuisance activity. In the last week APD has conducted several traffic safety checks on and around 10th Street, and have carried several sweeps through the park each night. Every night APD makes several arrests related to being in the park after curfew. The traffic safety checks have also yielded arrests. Proactive police, patrol, and neighborhood watch coverage appear to have brought the level of blatant drug activity down a good bit. But undesirables are still coming to make drug transactions in front of the Children’s School and in front of Grady High School, putting children and adolescents at risk of finding drug paraphernalia on their way to and from school.
