Trail and park users should call 911 to report emergencies and suspicious or criminal activity.

The Atlanta BeltLine has a long-standing partnership with the Atlanta Police Department (APD). In 2013, APD formed the Path Force, a dedicated unit of 15 officers and three (3) supervisors, who are dedicated to patrolling the Atlanta BeltLine trails, as well as the adjacent parks and neighborhoods.

Security cameras have been installed along the Atlanta Beltline. The security cameras tie into APD’s citywide Video Integration Center. Mile markers are tied into APD and EMS for emergency response coordination. 

To assist City workers and emergency response personnel, use the BeltLine Emergency Response Mile Marker signs which are located on every light pole with a unique number to identify the precise location (example below). 

For non-emergencies, contact the APD Path Force Unit at 404-546-PATH (7284), Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM or via email at pathforce@atlantaga.gov.
