@vmacfa All the good officers go work in cities that treat them well, show respect, back them up, pay them, etc. Atlanta SHITS on its officers so they leave for Cobb, Gwinnett, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, etc. These are top notch departments that will pay top dollar for the best most professional officers.

Go work for Gwinnett, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, Dunwoody, Cobb, etc and you will make far more money, have better equipment, take home cars, etc and not have to deal with reverse racism, crappy dispatchers, crappy city administrations, being spit on and called a pig by the welfare queens and crack monsters that cover most of the city.

Atlanta is a slum and they treat their officers like shit. Why? Because you have a feel good liberal city administration.

I would take the $3000 less to work in Gwinnett or Cobb just so I wouldn't have to deal with Atlanta.

APD sucks ass. I got a nieghbor who left APD and now working with cobb county police and hes making somewhere from $5,000 more a year. I havent heard nothing good about APD....thats bad...I say clean house and start from scratch

Well, I'm a junior at FSU (23 years of age) and was thinking about joining the APD's next recruiting class. To be honest, it would just be a job for me with no career goals with the department. Unfortunately, I think it's the mentality of most people my age.... On their current pay scale, I'd make $41,000 my first year because I have an AA degree, a person who's been there 5 years (because of the budget crisis) would make $2,000 less.

Amen to that, can we say Arthur Tesler ladies and gentlemen. And to Gook, there are plenty more APD Officers who are either in jail or awaiting trial for corruption.

[GSU2004]

No chance in hell of that happening. The voters of ATL need to clean house and stop electing people because of their race and sex. The voters need to get out and start being vocal.

And they taught you how to spell and write too. I bet you are probably a graduate of Atlanta Public Schools as well. Back to the subject, since you clearly left it. Again, you can thank your Fulton County court system for re-releasing criminals back into the streets, you can thank your NO SNITCH policy and you can thank your APD officers who don't show up to court to testify. But again, you have all the answers and everything is people like us who call it for what it is.
