Evermore CID beefs up holiday security

Holiday shoppers along U.S. 78 can feel a little less stressed about one thing this season: security.

The board for the Evermore Community Improvement District has voted to step up security patrols from Stone Mountain to Snellville during December.

Currently providing security in the overnight hours, Specialized Intelligence and Security also will patrol retail centers along the corridor during the day.

Shoppers should notice the SIS-marked cars as early as Saturday.
