From the Mayor's Desk
Public Safety Cameras for Our City
Community safety is a top priority in our City. The City Council and I consider this is of utmost importance. Peachtree Corners is extremely fortunate to have the services of the Gwinnett County Police Department (GCPD) to patrol our neighborhoods, and public areas. However, we felt there was more the City could do to assist the GCPD in ensuring the safety of our citizens, our businesses and our visitors.
You may have read in the news recently about Georgia Power’s program that offers cities a service to install cameras and license plate readers at strategic entry points throughout the city. A number of surrounding cities have added public safety cameras through this program. The cameras record traffic movements and scan license plates.

Here's the Scoop ... There is No Poop Ferry
Every time it rains, water runs off the land as stormwater picking up pollutants and debris - including pet waste.
Pet waste left on sidewalks, streets, yards or other open areas can be washed away and carried by rainwater into storm drains and drainage ditches which flow to nearby streams, rivers, and lakes.
