On another not I have been hearing if your a white Guy it may be more difficult and some people have been racists towards white people is this really going on? I mean I could give a shit less personally since I get along with all races of people but was just wondering if since I'm white is it going to be harder?

And what do you mean this agency changes you? And yes I am dead set on coming to Georgia I'm done with the snow and cold weather been up here for 28 years and I have had enough I will try and keep looking but on this website that has all states with open LEO positions Dekalb and I think Atlanta are on there with continuous application recruiting. I mean don't get me wrong I have been following what's going on in Dekalb since I put in my pre application and now have a testing date set for July 13th to do the written and agility and I just have not been able to find any other department hiring in Georgia at the moment except APD and DKPD and I think Savannah PD so idk. I mean thanks for the concern and knowledge but I am still going to go through the process. I have my heart set on being a officer in Georgia.

I've lived it too many years to count. This county changes you and it's not worth it. Look up other agencies in Georgia if you are set on coming here. Or go through the academy, become POST certified and go to a respectable agency. I wish you the best. There are still many good officers here and that's why we're telling you the truth about this agency.

Coming from Minnesota with about a year of college and no police experience except my service learning hours and ride alongside I've done up here. I don't have any kids and I am not married. I just want to work as a cop and up here when a job opens 900 people are applying with way more experience then I have. So I'm still coming down there regardless of what I have been seeing and hearing I just want to be a cop and hopefully work with some of the good officers left at DKPD. Oh and I'm not a criminal so hope my chances are still good.chevyz71https://www.blogger.com/profile/11402535372177391726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-61611933112123881662012-05-21T08:20:48.107-04:002012-05-21T08:20:48.107-04:00DC, FOP got that overturned? .....the unions and t...DC, FOP got that overturned? .....the unions and the FOP are neutered here in the Georgia.... you get what they give you minus the cost of crapo<br />Py benefits (healthcare out of pocket that cover only catastrophic incidents) and a reduced pension program whose contribution keeps jumping.<br /><br />Go Federal.....not city or county.Veteran Dekalb Officernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-60844980922628618362012-05-21T06:38:19.003-04:002012-05-21T06:38:19.003-04:00Anon 6:38

This department has corruption running through it starting with the Director of Public Safety and his chronie Asst Chief Holmes. You will not only have to watch your back on the streets, but also within the dept. I've been here 18 years and I would not recommend anyone with integrity coming into this dept. until someone comes in and cleans house and makes it a respectable dept. again. Unfortunately, some of us are stuck due to time in and pensions (which are changing and increasing yearly). Please find another county or local agency. It will benefit you and your family in the long run.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-47607234153141941612012-05-20T18:38:47.758-04:002012-05-20T18:38:47.758-04:00Planning to move my family from Washington DC to t...Planning to move my family from Washington DC to the Atlanta area. I'm currently a Washington DC officer and I've put in an application with Dekalb County PD. Are things really that bad down in Dekalb? I do know that what I'm reading in certainly possible because we are having some of the same going on in DC. No raises in 6 years, chief and command staff has gotten their money though. Chief makes 253,000 yearly and just signed a new deal. Department increased our contribution to health care. luckily the FOP got that overturned. The list goes on. Keep watching each others back and pushing on.

Seriously!<br /><br />Anon 9:16<br />I normally try to be positive on this post but, when someone from another agency takes shots at my family and friends of both APD & DKPD sometimes something just has to be said.<br /> Be very careful about what you say about other departments. If in fact you even work in LE. Your department can be one incident, one person, one politican & one investigative reporter away from the beginning of various departmental or county/city issues. Unless You've lived or worked in Atlanta or Dekalb I suggest you reserve your comments. Just a suggestion. <br />As for answering questions about both agencies, you chose to do so. <br />I'm sure neither agency asked you to be their liaison. <br /> One other suggestion. As for your friend's house, I hope it never happens again. But should it, have him call you! <br /><br />BeSafe!BeSafehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472363698187560518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-68105267124656803532012-05-15T15:54:46.640-04:002012-05-15T15:54:46.640-04:00Anon May 14, 2012 5:03 PM,
