More than 600 people, including Mayor Andre Dickens and 300 officers, attended the Atlanta Police Foundation’s annual “A Night in Blue” gala Saturday, the foundation said.
This year’s event, held at the Buckhead Theatre, celebrated the Atlanta Police Department’s 150th anniversary while raising more than $300,000 for officer programs.
The gala featured a concert by Brothers Osborne, a Grammy-winning country music duo. In addition to Dickens, Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum attended the event along with officers’ spouses, the foundation said. Other community leaders and law enforcement advocates were also among the guests.
A new police vehicle was presented to the Buckhead Safety Patrol fleet, made possible by the Buckhead Coalition, the Buckhead CID, the Buckhead Safety Alliance and the police foundation.
