About the Ambassador Force
Need a helping hand to figure out where to go and what to do in Downtown Atlanta? Or maybe you're looking for a business or service? Or you're a Downtown student or employee who would like an escort to your parking garage or any other location Downtown? Or you need assistance locating your vehicle after attending your event? Ask an Ambassador.
You won't have to look hard to find one of the members of our friendly and helpful Ambassador Force. They're the ones in the red and blue uniforms riding Segway human transporters or All-Terrain Public Safety Bikes.
Ambassadors enhance the public safety environment Downtown by adding additional patrols on the streets and in common areas all over the Downtown Improvement District’s 220 blocks. Besides the Ambassadors you see on the streets, there are Ambassadors monitoring the Downtown surveillance cameras, in addition to the police department’s monitoring station. Off-duty Atlanta Police are hired to assist the Ambassadors with their duties and provide additional selective enforcement on a 24-hour basis. The Ambassador Force also provides a cleaning component to the program, keeping the sidewalks and trash containers clean and free of trash and debris.
If you don’t spot us patrolling the streets of Downtown, you can find one of us at the Ambassador Information Booth at the intersection of Andrew Young International Boulevard and Peachtree Street, or you can visit our office located in 34 Peachtree, Suite 200. You can also call us at 404-215-9600 or text at 404-732-4200.
