Fulton County School Resource officers at Alpharetta High School accepted a donation April 27 from the city of Alpharetta: a 2002 Ford Crown Victoria police interceptor. Previously used by Alpharetta fire marshals, the vehicle has 84,000 miles and serves as a step up from the 1997 Crown Victoria previously donated to the school by the city in 2006. That vehicle provided the school with about 37,000 miles of service.

With 74 acres of school property to cover at Alpharetta High School, and much of it on a hilltop, resource officers are thankful to get the vehicles."We are extremely grateful," said Fulton County School Resource Officer W.M. Stanley. "It does speak to how well we've worked together over the years."It definitely makes our jobs easier and hopefully it will help Alpharetta officers as well who may need a backup," he added.
