The Sandy Spring Police Community Affairs Unit began operation on July 1, 2006 by incorporating 35 Neighborhood Watch Programs from Fulton County Police. Since that time, the program has doubled in size. The SSPD Business Watch Program is now underway. With the large representation of both retail and corporate businesses in Sandy Springs, the program will focus on business-community involvement aimed at reducing burglary and theft. A number of hands-on programs are offered by the SSPD Community Affairs Unit. Women's Self-Defense and Gun Safety classes are offered each month. Links for all programs are available within this site. Email Capt. Steve Rose
