Dunwoody Police Holding 'Dunwoody Dave' Photo Contest

Garden Gnome-like photo contest encourages residents to bring Dunwoody Dave, a small foam figurine, on trips this summer

The Dunwoody Police Department wants to go on vacation with you this summer.

The department is handing out “Dunwoody Dave” a foam stress ball figure that looks like a Dunwoody Police officer in hopes of creating a garden gnome type photo contest.

Residents are encouraged to submit photos to the Dunwoody Dave photo contest. The PD is asking people to submit photos of Dave on summer trips and travels, or in town photos with family and friends. Creativity is encouraged, the department says.
