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?
