Clean & Safe


The efforts of the BID’s Clean Team and partnerships with City of Albany agencies ensure a downtown that is consistently clean & safe.

Clean Team

Clean TeamThe Downtown Albany BID’s Clean Team Ambassadors clean the streets of downtown Albany daily by hand and through specialized machinery. The special care and pride the Team brings to this effort consistently gains high marks from the BID’s stakeholders and visitors. This seven-day-per-week program is designed to complement the efforts of the city’s Department of General Services.

Clean Team Ambassadors are more than happy to provide visitors with directions or recommend venues, attractions or events. In addition, the Clean Team works closely with the Albany Police Department’s Community Outreach Program to enhance downtown Albany’s security and compliance with City of Albany Codes.

Albany Police Department

Albany Police Dept.The Downtown Albany BID maintains a beneficial partnership with the Albany Police Department. You will see Officer Charlie Miranda – the BID’s dedicated beat officer – walking or riding his bicycle throughout the district. Officer Miranda has built a rapport with merchants, property owners, employees and visitors, further promoting the district’s friendly and safe environment. The Mounted Police also maintain a significant presence in downtown Albany.
