On Saturday, September 22, Team Chevrolet on Mansell Road donated a brand new Chevy Trail Blazer to the Alpharetta Police Department.

Team Chevy has made it a regular yearly event to give to the local police thanks to manager Chuck Hershiser.

“We’re proud to be part of the community and to give something back to the community,” said Hershiser.

Alpharetta Mayor Arthur Letchas was on hand to accept the gift on behalf of the city.

Alpharetta Public Safety Foundation Awards

On Thursday, September 27, the Alpharetta Public Safety Foundation celebrated the efforts of special individuals within the community who had helped the Foundation. Among those honoured were several area businesses and persons, especially Debbie Wingate, the woman responsible for the event.

To mark the occasion, a party was held in a fire station with many of the vehicles offered to Alpharetta Police and Fire Departments on display, including emergency response vehicles, a mobile command center, a hazardous materials unit and the DUI Taskforce’s night time patrol car, which is marked with different colors than a typical patrol car, making it harder to recognize at night.

Letchas and several City Council members were in attendance to congratulate the recipients of the honors.
