PEACHTREE CORNERS, GA — City leaders in Peachtree Corners will host a public meeting tonight to discuss the potential formation of a city-run police department. The meeting is set for 7 p.m. at Christ the King Lutheran Church on Peachtree Parkway and will also be streamed live on the city’s website.
During the meeting, the city manager will present findings from a recent feasibility study examining the projected costs, current crime levels, and demographic data to determine whether a municipal police force is a viable option. The study also includes comparisons with other metro Atlanta law enforcement agencies.
Officials will outline the potential advantages and disadvantages of establishing a city police department versus continuing to rely on county law enforcement services. The presentation marks the first phase of a broader proposal, which includes a community feedback period set to take place over the summer.
City officials say the matter is expected to go before the City Council for consideration later this fall.
