New Phone App Helps Alert MARTA Police to Suspicious Activity

You can use the smart-phone app to get the word to MARTA Police about your observations of suspicious activity.

If you observe something suspicious going on along the MARTA system and you have a smartphone, you now have the option of letting a new app get the word to MARTA Police about your observations, 11 Alive reports.

Sgt. Aston Green with MARTA's Emergency Preparedness Unit says in the news outlet's report: "You can take a picture of anything that seems suspicious -- like a package sitting beside you that no one is claiming. And then you can send that picture directly to our Police Communications Unit."

11Alive's report is attached to this post.
