DeKalb police officer helps homeless
By Ben Smith, AJC
A cop who encounters a homeless man can ignore him, question him or arrest him. Or he can simply tell him to move on.
Not Jeremy Turner. In his off-hours, the DeKalb County police officer carries on the work his father died for. Turner’s father, an advocate for the homeless, was killed in 1998 while trying to help build a house for a homeless family.
In 2007, when then-police chief Terrell Bolton set up DeKalb’s community policing program, Turner signed up. He also set out to replace his father’s non-profit. The new organization, Contribute2America, is currently awaiting approval for tax-exempt status, Turner said.
“I think Jeremy Turner personifies the phrase ‘protect and serve,’ ” Joannie Strauss said. “I call him my guardian angel".

nootkabear comments.....
Ya know...
I think the main reason I enjoy reading this blog, the officers here give us citizens hope. Hope that things will change for all of us.
Ya'll have our upmost respect! You do a hard as hell job, have problems like everybody else, have to deal with a-holes you work for. And from I read, you hate the corruption within the system as much as the rest of us.
As someone who has been battling the corruption within the system for several years now, when I read the comment about the DA, I suddenly realized that we are not the only ones that realize just how deep it goes.
The two that were arrested is only a tip of the iceberg. I often wonder just how it got this bad in DeKalb County.
When I was growing up, this was the County in GA to live in. I am unsure of when the change happened, maybe because of the age I was when it did, maybe because I like so many other citizens was oblivious to the reality of it.
When the DAs office, the Courts, the Clerks become corrupt, what is left?
We thank God that we have courageous, caring officers that want a better DeKalb!
Thanks yall! You do a hell-uv-a-job and I wouldn't want your responsibilities for anything in the world. Thanks for being there! We love ya.
