HPD to begin proactive patrol for shopping season

Homewood Police Department will begin its special “Proactive Patrol” beginning the day after Thanksgiving, said Sgt. Andrew Didcoct of HPD.

“Having extra patrol officers in the shopping areas helps deter and prevent crime,” Didcoct said. 

Additional officers will patrol the areas of downtown Homewood, Colonial Brookwood Village, Greensprings Highway and Wildwood shopping centers during peak holiday hours, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Officers will be in marked patrol cars providing extra coverage in these areas.

This special proactive patrol will end Christmas day.
