APD in the hiring mood
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.
