Comprehensive Plan
Public Meetings
The City of Dunwoody is hosting a series of com-
munity meetings to discuss six designated areas in the
Dunwoody community. This meeting is part of the
development of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for

As we enter this holiday season, it is a good time to
review some basic safety tips while shopping. Please
feel free to share and discuss these tips with family and
friends. With our current economy, we have seen a rise
in crimes such as theft, strong arm robberies and identi-
fication theft. By following a few basic safety tips, and
being aware of your surroundings, you can reduce your
chance of being a victim and still have an enjoyable time
shopping.
-Always be aware of your surroundings.
-Always carry your I.D.
-Dress casually and comfortably. Avoid wearing ex-
pensive jewelry or watches.
-Shop during daylight hours when possible. If you
have to shop at night, go with a friend.
-Try not to carry a purse unless necessary. If you must
carry a purse, always keep it in your grasp. Never hang
it on the back of a chair or leave it in a buggy.
-If you carry a wallet, keep it in a front pocket of your
pants or jacket.
-Avoid carrying large amounts of cash.
-Pay with a debit or credit card when possible. This
reduces the cash you have to carry and makes disput-
ing fraudulent charges easier.
-Be aware of where you park. Park in a lighted area if
shopping at night. Look around the parking lot before
exiting your car.

December issue of On The Beat, a monthly newsletter
created by the Dunwoody Police Department. You can
