Rise in High-Rise Crime in Atlanta

Atlanta’s luxury high-rise residences have seen an increase in criminal activity, raising concerns for residents and property managers who once considered these buildings among the most secure addresses in the city.

Criminals are exploiting gaps in access control, tailgating through secured entries, and targeting parking structures and common areas. The concentration of high-net-worth residents makes these buildings attractive targets.

Layered security — including access control, patrols, and standing posts — combined with resident awareness is essential to protecting high-rise communities. Hawque Protection Group works with residences and property managers to design and deliver these programs.
