PHENA's Security and Traffic aims to improve neighborhood safety through community awareness, monitoring, and providing neighborhood patrols by off-duty and retired police officers. We also work with the Atlanta Police Department, Buckhead public safety organizations, and neighboring communities to create a secure environment for all residents.
Officer Brian Beebe and Gumshoe Security Consulting have served our neighborhood since 2004. His team of retired and off-duty police officers supplements the activity of the Atlanta Police Department in patrolling our neighborhood. Their presence acts as an additional deterrent to crime, and they are readily available to respond to any emergency while they are on patrol.
Please note that you should always call 911 first in case of an emergency!

Incident Reporting
We ask residents to file PHENA Incident Reports for any suspicious, nuisance or criminal activity they observe, regardless of whether they have contacted the police. The purpose of this request is to:
- Monitor Neighborhood Activity: By collecting these reports, we can better understand the types and frequency of activities happening in the area, some which might go unreported to the Atlanta Police Department, i.e. stolen packages, missing small property, public intoxication, etc.
- Enhance Community Patrols: The information from the reports will help to direct our community patrols more effectively.
- Request Additional APD Support: If the reports indicate a high level of activity, the community can use this information to request additional support and directed patrols from the Atlanta Police Department. Note: If incidents are not reported to the APD, then they do not show up in the official crime statistics, which can impact the police department’s resource allocation.
