Security Patrol Renewal
8/14/2024
From Underwood Hills Security Patrol Chair Jamie Hargather;
It’s the time of year to renew security patrol annual dues. $300 for an entire year gets our neighborhood off-duty Atlanta Police Officers patrolling our neighborhood at different times of the day and in the middle of the night throughout the week.
Would love to get everyone to sign up in the next 30 days, so we don’t have to send out multiple emails throughout the rest of the year…please sign up soon!
There has been a major reduction of crime within the neighborhood since the patrol began a few years ago, and we want to keep that up.
Also, don’t forget about the officers being able to do vacation checks on your residence while you’re away. Make sure you use this service!
Also, If you need a new Security Sign to put in your yard, please let me know!
Join the UH Security Patrol for $300 per year. Security Dues are for the August 1, 2024 – July 31, 2025 time period.
Thank you to the below, who have already paid without an email even going out! Yall are on it!
Please renew or join, so we can keep these Atlanta Police Officers as our security patrol in the neighborhood!
Thank you!
