Police Chief Kevin Degu told the council that officer activity and traffic enforcement have increased, particularly on truck routes and corridors such as South Fulton Parkway and Hutchinson Ferry Road, where the department wrote numerous heavy-truck citations. He said enforcement reduces road damage and protects recently completed road projects.
Chief Degu also said the contract with Enterprise for fleet services has produced measurable savings: "So far, as of right now, the city has saved $66,788 by going to Enterprise." He added that criminal investigations open cases were reduced from over 30 to 12 thanks to work by detective Carter and lieutenant Stein.
