Here are the top five stories in Roswell today:

1. City and county officials have recently announced the kickoff of a new community court watch program in which residents can monitor repeat offender cases. Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis made the announcement and explained citizens can sign up to be members of "Court Watch" to see proceedings in person or on live video. According to city officials, the program is about accountability and ensuring there are appropriate consequences for repeat offenders. (FOX 5 Atlanta)
2. The Roswell Police Department has welcomed a new K9 Officer to their ranks. Officer R.
