Stonecrest wants opinions before hiring police chief
The most populated city located entirely within DeKalb has considered creating its own police department several times since its inception, but current city officials are asking for the public’s opinion before executing any plans.
City of Stonecrest leaders are asking for residents’ assistance before hiring the city’s first public safety liaison/police chief, according to a news release.
City officials are hosting an information meeting on June 17 at 6 p.m., and a press release states the meeting “will be a great opportunity to hear from citizens regarding the qualifications and skill set required for this position.”
The meeting will occur at Stonecrest City Hall, located at 3120 Stonecrest Boulevard.
There is also a virtual option available for residents who want to add their input without attending the city meeting. A survey regarding candidate qualifications is available through June 17 at stonecrestga.gov.
The survey asks questions about qualifications, experience, leadership qualities, Stonecrest’s biggest issues and needs, and other questions about residents’ desires.
After being elected, Mayor Jazzmin Cobble said one of her top priorities is to renegotiate Stonecrest’s intergovernmental agreements with DeKalb County, which currently polices Stonecrest despite the city being the most populated in DeKalb. Stonecrest has been policed by DeKalb County Police Department since the city’s inception.

Chief Ramos needs go before she does any more damage to the department. Share what you know! Everyone is afraid because she's a bully. Look what she did to Hughs. The new CEO should demand she stop making changes to the department and resign immediately.
Word on the streets say the former police chief of Stone Mountain Village Police is the to candidate. Not sure how but a friend in city council says only two former chiefs inquired. Starting salary 120k. Plan is to have 30-40 sworn. We shall see.
