Call 911 in an Emergency
In case of an emergency situation, please call 911 immediately. Location identification stickers with numbers are installed on each light pole on paved trails and every .10 miles on interim trails. Providing this number to 911 will help first responders identify the location of an incident and provide them with detailed directions to the nearest trail access point.
Security cameras are installed along all open, paved trails and are integrated into the Atlanta Police Department’s monitoring systems.
