The Gwinnett Place Community Improvement District in Duluth is beefing up security for the holiday shopping season.

The district has added extra private security forces to expand on existing seven-day patrols. Uniformed public safety officers from Specialized Intelligence and Security Inc. will monitor retail centers, high-traffic areas and other Gwinnett Place businesses.

Recent Gwinnett Police Department statistics show crime in Gwinnett Place is down substantially from a year ago.
