Officer Kevin Martinez, a 5-year veteran of the force, was at the Stone Mountain Community Center grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting ceremony on October 17.
Officer Martinez was there to discuss safety and crime prevention topics from the different types of crime, residential and business security, physical security, identifying criminal behavior and reporting suspicious activities.
During the celebration ceremony, several individuals started dancing in the ‘Hit the Quan’ dance, while Officer Martinez joined in and it was all captured by YKG (Young Kids Generation) Musiq group. The group posted the video on their Facebook page and has quickly become a social media sensation.
