Druid Hills Association: Community Suffering 'Dramatic' Crime Increase

Following "dramatic" increase in crime, the Druid Hills community is looking to boost its private police patrol unit.
Druid Hills Patrol, a nonprofit group that provides off-duty police coverage to the community, is looking to increase it membership to more than 1,000 households, according to the Druid Hills Civic Association.
From a post on the association's blog:
