Hapeville Police starting pay  50,000.00 plus lots of perks and great benefits. Dekalb still one of the lowest paid departments in the metro Atlanta area.

Former Dekalb Police Officer is rumored, to be named the Chief Deputy Sheriff for Dekalb County Sheriff's Office.

A Dekalb County police officer, indicted Thursday for clubbing a homeless woman with his baton, surrendered to authorities over the weekend. The officer was released on bond after a few hours.

Chief Conroy is officially retired now.
Who will be Dekalb County’s  new Police Chief? 
Will it be a real Chief who can makes changes,  or just a puppet for the C.E.O. And the Director of Public safety.

Dekalb Police has lost another great officer and Supervisor, It is with great sadness and heavy hearts we remember Lt. John Germano. Rest In Peace our bother in blue. 

Dekalb C.E.O. Michael Thurmond  gave his State Of the county address today. Seemed like the usual political norm about promises and plans for everyone. 

Rumor is the new Police Chief is down to two candidates, Rodney Bryant  who is an assistant Chief with Atlanta Police. The other is Kerry Thomas who is the current Chief at Chamblee. 
Both have ties with Director Lumpkin and the CEO. 

Publc Safety Director Lumpkin sends out an email, about the starting pay for Dekalb officers was posted inaccurate in a news story. He was upset that this information was incorrect and wanted it corrected.
I wonder what these officers will be making after 10, 15 or 20 years of  service. 
Another email was sent out by the Director about the number 1 cause of officer death is suicide. 
Does the new Director really care?

In-service has started back, We are being told you better bring a jacket or a fan because the class rooms have no heat or air. Bring your lunch and wear your weapon. It is being held at Atlanta Metropolitan State  college. The question comes to mind why could we not have In-service in our own county.

Captain Williams: WSB Investigation questions why he was not disciplined or demoted? 

For violating several county policies and for a breach of security during the Super Bowl.

Assignments for the recently promoted officers. 

   Congratulations to all the new officers that were promoted.

    No time wasted to Promote off of the new testing list. 

Dekalb Police Chief James Conroy announced he is retiring at the end of April.
A Nationwide search is underway for his replacement.

Chief Conroy asks for the Captain test to be delayed by a few weeks,  so a larger pool of candidates can be tested.................. Seems strange since only two candidates were added.
