DeKalb County to break ground on new real-time crime center
The DeKalb County government announced that, in addition to its new investments in police salaries and staffing, it'd be breaking ground on a real-time crime center on Friday. 'This is about leveraging technology to prevent and deter crime and quickly apprehend perpetrators,' County CEO Lorraine Cochran-Johnson said in a statement. 'We are building a tech-forward infrastructure that empowers officers with immediate intelligence, speeds up investigations, and improves community safety outcomes.' [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] According to the county, officials recently toured several centers in the metro Atlanta area, including the City of Atlanta's Loudermilk Video Integration Center, Cobb County's Real-Time Crime Center, and the Dunwoody Police Department Real-Time Crime Center to learn about their best practices and how they built out the necessary technology infrastructure. The county said the DeKalb County Real-Time Crime Technology will be a 'state-of-the-art facility that will centralize surveillance, data analysis, drone technology and emergency response coordination.' TRENDING STORIES: Man accused of trying to kidnap toddler at Acworth Walmart says he was just trying to help After school fight ends with young teenager dead, another taken into police custody Gwinnett police searching for non-verbal 5-year-old who disappeared near Lawrenceville 'This center will enhance how we capture, analyze, and act on real-time data,' William Jones, Chief Information Officer, said. 'We are building a tech-forward infrastructure that empowers officers with immediate intelligence, speeds up investigations, and improves community safety outcomes.' The new investment in crime-fighting technology follows several levels of salary increase for officers, based on position and experience: Police Recruits: $61,000 ($64,050 with degree) Police Officers: $62,525 ($65,651 with degree) Senior Officers: $70,000 ($73,500 with degree) Sergeants, Lieutenants, Captains, Majors, and others: 7.1% increase The salary increases took effect March 1. The county also recently held a hiring event for the police department, with 83 candidates applying. The county said 35 applicants moved forward and six others are in the process as well. A date for the groundbreaking has not yet been set. [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]

The best Amazon deals to shop this weekend (trust me, I combed through thousands)
How great is it that this weekend kicks off with Pi Day! Pi (or π), of course, represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Pi is an irrational number, meaning it can't be expressed as the ratio of two integers. It's also a "transcendental" number — i.e., it's not the solution of any non-constant polynomial equation with rational coefficients. (Duh!) It's written most simply as 3.14, though its decimal "representation" can be extended to, literally, many trillions of digits. The Greek symbol π was first used by Welsh mathematician William Jones in his 1706 work Synopsis Palmariorum Matheseos. Anyway: You won't believe this weekend's Amazon deals! Top Amazon deals Apple AirPods 4 for $100 (was $129): All-time low Cozsinoor Bed Pillows, Queen, 2-Pack for $27 (was $120): Nearly 80% off Stanley Quencher H2.0 FlowState Tumbler, 30-oz for $26 (was $35): All-time low Yeti Roadie 24 Cooler for $200 (was $250): All-time low Zinus Green Tea Mattress, Queen for $148 (was $200): All-time low Black & Decker Dustbuster for $45 (was $56): Beats Black Friday price iRobot Roomba for $130 (was $250): Nearly 50% off Somewhere around Pi's 762nd decimal place, six consecutive 9s appear.

It's Pi Day. Here's Why This Special Number Gets a Global Celebration.
Each year, on March 14, it's become traditional for numerophiles and mathematicians to pause and reflect on the most famous of irrational numbers, pi. Pronounced pie, written as π, and summed up by the numbers 3.14, this seemingly simple figure now serves as a reminder of just how practical, poetic, and profound mathematics can be in our modern world. So why does pi get the honor, and not e? Or the golden ratio? Should we be making more out of tau day instead? Not everybody agrees pi deserves its praise. But that doesn't mean it's not without its charm. Pi (π) is a constant describing the ratio between a circle's circumference and its diameter. It is an irrational number usually summarized to two decimal places as 3.14. Want to know the rest of it? Given it never ends, it might take a while to write it out. But here are the first 200 decimal places, in song form. Try singing along! The Greek letter for P was chosen by the 18th century Welsh mathematics teacher William Jones, most likely to stand for 'periphery'. Symbolically, the term pi was chosen to stand for something more than a mere number. Prior to its use in the early 18th century, the quantity was represented by terms and fractions, none of which adequately reflected an incomprehensible, infinitely long sequence of non-repeating decimals. Jones might have suspected that "'the exact proportion between the diameter and the circumference can never be expressed in numbers", but it wasn't until the 1760s that the Swiss polymath Johann Lambert came up with a proof of its irrationality. It seems that for as long as we have been playing with circles, we've been aware that it takes roughly three diameters to make up a circumference, no matter the shape's size. There's even evidence of this ratio among the mathematics of ancient Babylonians, around 4,000 years ago, who understood the perimeter of a hexagon sitting neatly inside a circle was equal to six times its radius, giving us a value of 3.125. The Rhind Papyrus (below), produced roughly 1650 BCE in Ancient Egypt, claimed if you were to remove "1/9 of a diameter and construct a square upon the remainder; this has the same area as the circle", which equates to a value of 3.16049. (British Museum Department of Ancient Egypt and Sudan/PD) Archimedes of Syracuse also had a good stab at the problem. Using polygons much as the Babylonians had, multiplying out the sides, he came up with a more theoretical value of between 3 and 1/7, and 3 and 10/71. As a constant for all circles, pi is an axiom – a fundamental principle – that can be used to help describe a broad range of phenomena and concepts throughout physics and geometry. This makes it useful in a huge range of applications for analyzing and describing the natural world, from the meandering of rivers to the construct of atoms. Even where circles don't seem immediately involved, pi can make a strange appearance. For example, the probability that any two integers will have no common positive factors – what's described as being relatively prime – is 6/π^2. Beyond its practical and mathematical applications, pi has captured the public's interest purely out of a sense of poetry and aesthetic. A staff member and physicist at San Francisco's Exploratorium named Larry Shaw noted at a staff retreat in 1988 how the date March 14 reflected the first three numbers of pi, 3.14. From there a day of celebrating science and mathematics was born: Pi Day. More than three decades on and the day is celebrated worldwide, with the sharing of pi trivia, mathematical problems, and the baking of the most famous of circular deserts: the pie.
