As to your concern regarding traffic enforcement, the truth is that far more people are killed or injured in Alpharetta because of speeding than because of criminal activity. There's a substantial argument that enforcing traffic laws is more directly relevant to your safety than any other activity the police may undertake. Let's not get too carried away in our statements. Alpharetta is a pretty safe place.
The other incident you mention within the past three and a half months was the result of a domestic dispute, which happens in virtually every community in America.
