Atlanta’s Ambassador Force
ATLANTA – Downtown Atlanta is a safer, cleaner place to work and visit due to the Downtown Improvement District’s (DID) Ambassador Force, a 60-plus, full-time hospitality and public safety group that helps patrol downtown and assists visitors with helpful information about the city. During our last event in Atlanta, we met several of the friendly Ambassadors as they patrol the 200 block radius.
