How You Can Help
● Description of the issue ● Street address ● Photo(s) of the issue Thanks in advance for your help in maintaining our community. |
Since establishing and tracking a list of infrastructure issues around our neighborhood, a number of long-standing items have been repaired, ranging from potholes to damaged storm drains to missing street signs. Our frequent interaction with the City of Atlanta Ombudsman, Ms. Amber Ware, has produced results and has strengthened our relationship with those responsible for maintaining our city. So far this year, we have been able to resolve 14 issues with many more in the works. One issue had been ongoing for seven years and was finally resolved following MPNCA action.
If you spot an infrastructure issue on your street or elsewhere in the neighborhood, please consider reporting it using the ATL 311 app. The app is easy to download and remarkably user-friendly. Once you submit an order, please let us know via email at Mt. Paran-Northside Street Captains: An Easy Job and an Important One!
The MPNCA membership drive for 2027 will begin in October, and we are asking for more volunteers to spread the word about the MPNCA and our wonderful security team. The more members we have, the more hours the security team spends on our streets keeping us safe!

Street Captain Duties
Street captain duties are very simple. When new neighbors move into the MPNCA area, we provide a welcome gift with enclosed MPNCA information, and ask the nearest street captain to personally deliver it and welcome them to the neighborhood. That’s it! An easy job, but also an important one.

During the month of August we had one crime reported within the neighborhood footprint served by the MPNCA, a theft from a vehicle on Whitestone Place. This compares to zero crimes reported in August 2025.
Security Patrol Statistics
• Hours worked by the MPNCA Security Patrol in August: 327
• House checks performed by the MPNCA Security Patrol in August: 859
• MPNCA’s APD-identified security vehicle had no mechanical issues and was on neighborhood patrol every day in August
Our 70 hours/week security patrol, conducted by off-duty APD officers in our new APD-identified vehicle continues to help keep all of us safe. The security team patrols the entire neighborhood, checks houses where the owners are out of town, and recommends steps each of us can take to keep our homes and neighborhood secure. We are truly thankful for their continued efforts!
Security Reminders
MPNCA members receive daily house checks when they are out of town, which provides great peace of mind. Our officers walk the perimeter of your home daily to ensure there are no issues. If there are packages left on the front porch, the security team will move them someplace less obvious. This is one more example of the MPNCA offering terrific value to the neighborhood for 42 years and counting!
To request security checks from the MPNCA Security Patrol at your home, please call or text 404-538-8946 or email security@mtparannorthside.com. This service is only available to MPNCA members.
We should always be aware of our surroundings and watch out for each other as a community. If you have any questions, please reach out to the security team. We are stronger together, and the MPNCA serves all of us!
Additional Safety Information
● Always call 911 before you call the security patrol!
● You can reach the on-duty security officer with questions or concerns by phone or text at 404-538-8946, or by emailing security@mtparannorthside.com
Stay Safe,
Alicia C. Gant, MPNCA Security Chair
