Crime doesn’t pay, but the Atlanta Police Department does. As part of its goal to have a 2,000-member sworn force, the APD will hold a career fair on Monday.

Interviews and testing will begin promptly at 8 a.m. at police headquarters at 226 Peachtree St.

Candidates should dress in business attire and have a valid government-issued identification card.

Anybody arriving after 8 a.m. will not be admitted in what could be a six hour day.

In the past two years, APD has hired almost 500 new officers to swell the ranks to 1,959.
