Decatur, GA - April 8th, 1997
Top administrators of the DeKalb Police Department met with executives of Crown Petroleum today to accept a sign in front of the Public Safety Building on Memorial Drive and Camp Rd.
The sign is intended to alert people to the location
of the Public Safety Building. It also provides a constant reminder
of the DUI problem by displaying the number of DUI arrests made this
year by the department. The sign was donated by Crown in an effort
to raise public awareness about the magnitude of DUI in our area,
and also to help create a liaison between private industry and
local government.
