CAP is
Downtown
for You
CAP safety ambassadors are excited to welcome you to downtown Birmingham! As we patrol on foot, Segways and bikes, our visibility and attention often deter bad behavior and activities. We look for opportunities to help people and tidy up our district as we’re out and about.
How can we help you? Call 205-251-0111 for the quickest way to request service.
If you are requesting pressure washing in a public space, please use our contact form.

Downtown Birmingham’s Business Improvement District (BID) funds the CAP Clean & Safe Program to proactively patrol to look for opportunities to help. In the map below, the BID’s three subdistricts — City Center, The Switch and Five Points South — are highlighted in blue, purple and red respectively. CAP services began in The Switch and Five Points South on Monday, July 1, 2024. The yellow area is Railroad Park, which contracts CAP to provide services when called, but that area is not proactively patrolled.
In blue, purple, red and yellow areas, you can call 205-251-0111 to request service!
