• Chamblee police launch real-time crime center to boost citywide safety (cbsnews.com) — Chamblee residents should know their police department has opened a $2 million real-time crime center that monitors about 80 cameras and license plate readers across the city to improve safety. Officials say the system has already cut crashes at Peachtree Boulevard and Chamblee Dunwoody Road by half and will expand further, with footage generally stored for 30 days. 
• Homeowners say contractor's firm took $75K, left driveway unsafe, dodging arbitration (atlantanewsfirst.com) — Chamblee homeowners are dealing with an expensive, allegedly defective driveway project they say now poses safety concerns and could cost about $100,000 to replace. After an arbitrator awarded them tens of thousands of dollars, they report only a small portion has been paid, prompting renewed attention on how local residents can better protect themselves when hiring contractors.
