Christmas for Kids Program: Dunwoody Police Department

 2011 Christmas for Kids Program
City of Dunwoody
 
The Dunwoody Police Department is once again doing its part to bring Christmas cheer to many special children in Dunwoody with the third annual Christmas for Kids program. CFK began with an idea to help Dunwoody's less fortunate children by making their Christmas a little brighter. This year, the Dunwoody Police Department, local businesses, and the Dunwoody community will be working together to collect new, unwrapped toys and gifts for children from newborn to fifteen years old, and invite them to a private Christmas festival where the "magic" of Christmas will come alive with food, fun, and games. Of course, Santa and all his helpers will be there to personally deliver the gifts to each and every registered child.
 
"The Christmas for Kids program has proven to be a great success over the past two years and we look forward to another chance of working with the community to help bring some joy and laughter to local Dunwoody kids who really need it," said Billy Grogan, Dunwoody Chief of Police. "The tremendous support shown each year by our local businesses and community continues to give me great pride and gratitude to be a part of this City. It is our opportunity to think about the welfare of others, rather than ourselves."
 
"Christmas for Kids is one of many special events in Dunwoody that showcases the warmth and generosity of this community," said Sergeant Fidel Espinoza, Dunwoody Police Department. "CFK brings our community together to bring so much joy to many deserving children. It is a pleasure to once again reach Dunwoody's less fortunate children and make their Christmases a little brighter."
 
Last year, the Dunwoody community stepped up and enabled CFK to help nearly 70 local children and their families as well as distribute toys to several local shelters, hospitals, schools, and churches in time for Christmas. The goal this year will be to help those families and organizations - and then some.
 
Visit the CFK webpage at: www.DPDChristmas4Kids.com where information can be found regarding toy drop-off locations, volunteer opportunities, and program updates.
 
For additional information regarding the CFK program, please contact Sergeant Fidel Espinoza at fidel.espinoza@dunwoodyga.gov or Liz Stell at liz.stell@dunwoodyga.gov.

Recent Burglaries in Dunwoody / Suspect BOLO's

The Dunwoody Police Department is currently investigating two separate burglaries that are occurring by two different individuals.  I want to pass along the suspect's information in an attempt to keep a watchful eye out to preserve our community and apprehend these subjects.

The first BOLO is for a blue Chrysler PT Cruiser occupied by a white male with a blond beard.  This suspect is described as looking like a "blond version of Zac Brown".  When he arrives at a residence he rings the doorbell multiple times and then retreats to the back yard to check for entry points into the residence.  This subject has hit in the Hallford area, with entrances off Mount Vernon and Dunwoody Club Dr.

 

The second BOLO is for a black Toyota Corolla with two black male occupants.  The passenger of the vehicle is described as being heavy set black male and having unmanaged long hair.  He was seen knocking on several residents doors, before kicking in a door to make entry into the residence.  He has been seen in the Winters Chapel area. 

 

I apologize for the vague descriptions; however, this is what we are currently working with.  Please keep a vigilant watch for any suspicious persons or activity in your area and remember to call 911 to report this type of activity.  Do not limit your suspicions to the above descriptions.  If you have any information regarding these two subjects please let me know so that I can forward it to Investigations.

 

I wanted to also take a minute to thank those of you who have reported a white male who is soliciting children's books within the City.  This subject is driving a silver Pontiac with Montana tags.  This subject has obtained a permit to solicit through the City of Dunwoody.  I appreciate those of you who have alerted us to his activity and I wanted to make sure you all are aware that we are familiar with him.  Thank you.  Have a great weekend.

Be On The Lookout (BOLO) Alert: Chamblee Police, 5/27/2011

From Chamblee Police Dept....
 

Last week I sent out a notice about two burglaries on Admiral Drive.  Since then there has been another burglary on Ellwyn Drive.  I wanted to pass along a possible description of the vehicle we suspect is involved.  The vehicle may be a tan or gold late 90s model Lexus ES300 with a paper dealer tag and body damage, possibly with primer paint in one area.   The car leaks oil and has left an oil spot at the scene of each burglary.  It may have a white male driver and black male passengers, all in their early 20s.  Please call Chamblee 911 if you see a vehicle by this description, especially lurking in the residential areas west of Peachtree Blvd during the morning hours of 8-12.

   

There was also a residential burglary on the east side of town, on Janice Circle.  Since then, several juveniles were recently arrested by Dekalb PD for a burglary off of Hilltop Drive, and these may be the same ones from Janice Circle.

Operation Pill Drop: April 30, 2011

Incident: Operation Pill Drop
Date: 04-30-2011
Location: City of Dunwoody
 
The Dunwoody Police Department is teaming up with the Drug Enforcement Agency and Safe Kids Georgia to conduct Operation Pill Drop again. This is a prescription drug take-back event where the public can dispose of expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs or over-the-counter medications to keep them out of the wrong hands. "Prescription drug abuse is the Nation's fastest-growing drug problem, and take-back events like this one are an indispensable tool for reducing the threat that the diversion and abuse of these drugs pose to public health," said Director of National Drug Control Policy, Gil Kerlikowske. "The Federal/state/and local collaboration represented in this initiative is key in our national efforts to reduce pharmaceutical drug diversion and abuse."
 
On April 30th, we invite Dunwoody residents to bring their unwanted medication to the front lobby of our police department from 10AM-2PM, 41 Perimeter Center East, Suite 100.
 
We cannot accept needles/sharps, syringes with needles, thermometers, IV bags, bloody or infectious waste, personal care products, empty containers, inhalers, medical equipment, and hydrogen peroxide.
 
Unintentional poisoning from prescription medications is on the rise. Every year, over 2 million poison exposures are reported in the United States. In 2009, over 51% of reported poisonings in Georgia involved children ages 5 and under. Operation Pill Drop offers the public a free and convenient option for disposing of their prescription and over-the-counter medications to protect their families and the environment.
