Safety Ambassador

Downtown Atlanta’s Safety Ambassadors serve as friendly, visible resources for residents, workers, and visitors throughout the district. Whether providing directions, assisting with vehicle lockouts and dead batteries, conducting parking facility patrols, performing business checks and assisting property owners with fire-drills, or connecting individuals with needed services, our ambassadors help create a welcoming and positive Downtown experience.

Patrolling on foot, bicycles, and trikkes, Safety Ambassadors maintain a strong presence throughout Downtown Atlanta, offering assistance, reporting concerns, and serving as additional eyes and ears for the community. Working closely with the Atlanta Police Department (APD), our team supports public safety efforts through camera monitoring, criminal trespass affidavit coordination, and real-time communication regarding quality-of-life and safety concerns.

To further enhance public safety, Downtown Atlanta, Inc. employs off-duty Atlanta Police officers who provide supplemental patrols throughout the district. These officers support a safe and vibrant Downtown environment while offering direct assistance to commercial property owners, businesses, tenants, employees, and visitors.

Through strong partnerships with the Atlanta Police Department (APD), Georgia State University Police, MARTA Police, Fulton County agencies, the judicial system, and Downtown’s private security community, we foster collaboration, information sharing, and proactive problem-solving to address public safety concerns across the district.
