Ambassador Force Marks 15 Years 2011 marks the 15th anniversary of the Downtown Ambassador Force. With their signature uniform and friendly smile, the Ambassadors are an unmistakable fixture Downtown, whether on foot, bicycle or Segway. The role of the Downtown Ambassador Force has expanded to include 24-hour police enhancement and selective enforcement and monitoring of Downtown surveillance cameras. In just the past five years, the Downtown Ambassadors have assisted more than 14 million guests, residents and workers Downtown, and in partnership with the Atlanta Police Department and the Police Foundation serve as the “eyes and ears� for certified law enforcement personnel. With the help of the Downtown Ambassadors, the APD has arrested more than 300 offenders Downtown and more than 250 people have received medical assistance facilitated by an Ambassador.
