It was spotless and the lobby is decorated with photographs of the command staff, fallen officers, plaques from local business owners and recruitment posters with the motto "Answer the Call," something I one day hope to do. I was impressed with the physical appearance of the officers, especially the officers' attention to detail. In particular I noted the radio-telephone operator's leather pouches used to hold handcuffs; they appeared to have been shined. I saw two other uniforms while I was there, a black and a white male, the latter a desk sergeant. I also saw a white female detective in conservative business attire, she greeted me although I had no official business with her. The radio-telephone operator, a black female, was friendly; she listened to Cartoon Network as she worked. In my next post I will continue with my impressions of the inside of the station and begin to discuss my application to the City of Dunwoody Police Department's Ride Along Program.

My Impressions
Those of you who read my last post are probably wondering why I concluded with a photograph of Georgia Eye Associates. Well, it turns out that this is also the location of Zone 2, a small police station serving North Atlanta. The police station is to the rear of Georgia Eye Associates with an entrance on the side. I was most disappointed with the Maple Drive address, which is one block to the West of the more busy Piedmont Road. While the station sits in its secluded position, motorists on Piedmont Road are committing traffic violations. I can't help to think, if the station was storefront property on Piedmont Road, it might encourage voluntary compliance. However, I was delighted by the station's internal condition.
