Dunwoody has become the first city in DeKalb County to get direct access into the county’s electronic warrant information system.

The city recently signed a deal with the county for the access, which allows Dunwoody Police officers to input warrant and search warrant requests remotely.

Dunwoody will use $5,000 to $7,000 of its asset forfeiture funds to buy the equipment needed for the project. The cost has kept other cities from applying to log into the system, which has been in effect since 2003. There is no cost to the county.
