Dear Mr. Satterfield:
This will refer to your letter of February 18, 1969, regarding the
establishment of Authority-paid special project police forces.
The Cooperation Agreement between the Atlanta Housing Authority and the
City of Atlanta states that the City shall furnish or cause to be furnished
to the Local Authority and the tenants of such projects public services and
facilities of the same character and to the same extent as are furnished
from time to time without cost or charge to other dwellings and inhabitants
in the municipality. This provision, of course, includes police service
and the City should therefore provide services required at the projects
to insure the safety of its residents.
This office does not approve funds to be used to provide protective services
as a matter of course. Only where highly unusual circumstances existed have
we authorized funds to employ project police or security guards. In such
rare instances, approval involved very small numbers of personnel and for
temporary periods of time.
At this time, we are not aware of circumstances in Atlanta which require
special protective services over and above those presently being provided
by the municipality under the provisions of the Cooperation Agreement.
Under no circumstances would we be willing to approve an arrangement which
in effect would replace services which the City performs in accordance with
the Cooperation Agreement.
Sincerely yours,
