MPACT program gaining members
Neighborhood watch groups flourish
The Milton Police Department's MPACT (Milton Police And Citizens Together) program has begun to take hold in several neighborhoods across the city.
MPACT is the Milton Police Department's way of organizing and conducting neighborhood watches. It works by creating a network of residents - normally a Homeowners Association - specifically assigned as that neighborhood's point of contact at the Police Department. They report information to each other and police, and distribute information from authorities when needed. In turn, the Police Department is able to provide information and training specific to that particular community.
To schedule a meeting in your neighborhood, contact Community Officer Andrew Phillips. He is available by calling 678-242-2505 or e-mailing andrew.phillips@cityofmiltonga.us.

Firefighters hit streets to 'Fill the Boot'
Milton FD at major intersections until Labor Day
On Fridays and weekends from Aug. 13 until Labor Day, Milton's firefighters will be at major intersections raising money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association's (MDA) "Fill the Boot" drive.
All you have to do to help out is toss them some change - a small act that adds up quickly.
"Milton residents have proven to be some of the most generous people in the state," said Milton Fire Chief Robert Edgar. "Last year alone we raised $48,000, which put us second in the state over much larger and older departments."

Milton Police Department earns State Certification
Less than 15 percent of agencies earn GACP certification
The City of Milton Police Department has achieved State Certification from the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police (GACP), a feat accomplished by less than 15 percent of eligible state agencies.
"This certification has been the culmination of three years of hard work, pretty much the entire life of the department thus far," said Milton Police Chief Deborah Harrell. "It is something that Milton's citizens can be proud of, knowing their police force ranks among the best in the state so early in its existence."
