🚨SCAM ALERT🚨

Jackets, be aware of this local scamming trend❗️
Criminals are using the “borrowed phone” tactic to quickly steal funds out of cash payment applications. DO NOT let anyone that you do not know use your cell phone, even if they do not look suspicious. Parents and families, please share this with your students!

Take extra measures to protect yourself:

✅ Confirm that phone has a passcode lock enabled
✅ Utilize additional security measures to all cash payment applications
✅ Say No!

You can always contact GTPD at 404–894–2500 or on the LiveSafe app! 🐝

Hello Jackets!

Please see the attached news article regarding updates to the use of Georgia Tech's Emergency Notification System (GTENS).

GTENS System Evolves to Include New ‘Inform’ Notifications | News Center Since its inception, the Georgia Tech Emergency Notification System (GTENS) has primarily been used to convey an imminent threat requiring the campus community to take immediate action. Given Tech’s Midtown location, however, there are occasions when events near campus may not directly affect oper...

⭐️Friday’s Feature ⭐️

Before we move into the fall semester, we want to take a moment to celebrate our Spring 23' graduates!🎓

With a long-time career in Law Enforcement and Public Safety, Captain Walton adds to his credentials a Master of Public Safety Administration Degree from Columbus State University. 👏

Public Safety Officer Trevino started her Public Safety career as a GTPD Intern, then transitioned into a Full-Time Public Safety Officer, while earning her Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice. Her next career goal is to serve as Police Officer!👏

Congratulations to you both, we are so proud of you!

Shesh, It is hot out there! 🥵 What are you doing to stay cool?

This is a reminder to stay hydrated with the rising temperatures!

Here are some tips:
1️⃣ Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink. By the time you feel thirsty, you’re already slightly dehydrated. Sip water throughout the day! 🥤

2️⃣ Stay inside when it gets too hot. On very hot days, stay inside in an air-conditioned environment. Plan outdoor activities for early in the morning or late in the evening, to avoid the times of day when it is the hottest and the sun’s rays are the strongest.🌞

3️⃣Eat water-rich fruits and vegetables like watermelon, strawberries, peaches, pineapples, cucumbers, leafy greens, celery, tomatoes, AND MORE! 🍉🥒🥬

4️⃣ Be aware of your body and the signs that it gives you. Symptoms of dehydration include dry mouth/skin, fatigue, irritability, and confusion. Try to stay ahead of these! Don’t wait for signs of dehydration to appear.

Today, we had the pleasure of visiting with the students of Atlanta’s International Preschool. 😊

Our Public Safety Officers were able to engage with the students through active reading. 📖 📚
We always appreciate the opportunity to work with students of Atlanta and further engage with our community, one child at a time!
