Community Advisory Board
The Community Advisory Board is a committee of hard working Fulton County residents and business men and women dedicated to reducing burglary in Fulton County by 30%. Some of CAB Members have been victims of burglary or have friends, neighbors and family members who have been personally affected by this crime trend. Their mission is to gather information, identify solutions and provide suggestions for improvements in the Criminal Justice system related to the crime of burglary. The resulting findings, solutions and suggestions will come in the form of citizen surveys, a city comparison report, an awareness campaign and a Grand Jury Presentment. The members began meeting in early March of 2010 and are teamed with members of the District Attorney's Office Community Prosecution Group to carry out their stated mission.
Our CAB Members serve on the following subcommittees:
Community Awareness and Prevention Campaign
Summary
The board will help organize and implement Project Secure. Project Secure is a burglary prevention program that will provide complete home burglary protection using Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) methods. The Board will comprise a team of companies willing to educate and provide communities with the tools necessary to prevent, deter and stop burglaries. The team would travel and promote security using a large prevention truck to bring attention to the importance of safety.
Criminal Justice Review Committee
Summary
The board will prepare a report that will assist the Grand Jury in making a presentment that suggest specific changes to the criminal justice system. The presentment would be based on a report compiled from the City Comparison and include the feedback obtained from the Community Survey. The presentment should include suggestions for changes for:
- Juvenile System
- Bonds
- Sentencing
- Parole
Citizens' Survey Committee
Summary
The advisory board will act as the voice of the citizens of Fulton County by getting an accurate view of public opinion via a survey created and disseminated by the board.
