Safety around  Downtown Atlanta
The "Downtown Ambassadors" patrol the streets offering security and assistance. Created by Central Atlanta Progress in 1996, the Ambassador Force of Downtown Atlanta is a full-time private hospitality and public safety force that patrols a 200-block area from North Avenue, south to Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive, and from the Georgia World Congress Center to the Downtown Connector. No matter where you are in Downtown, one of our friendly and helpful Ambassadors is just right around the corner. The hours are 7:30 a.m. - 12:00 a.m. Ambassadors patrol the sidewalks looking for people who need assistance — giving directions, medical assistance, and can contact  the Atlanta Police Department via direct radio contact. The Ambassadors assist with emergency response for building evacuations and fire drills, assisting with crowd control, information and communication, and to provide a security presence.  The Ambassadors are always up-to-date on events happening in Downtown whether its musical or sporting, and they also can tell you what large conventions are here so you can plan your way around the extra traffic.
