Top cop jobs open in Clarkston, Lithonia

Two DeKalb County cities are looking for new police chiefs to begin 2012.

Clarkston Police Chief Tony Scipio retired in early January from the post he held for seven years. Lithonia Police Chief Kennis Harrell resigned effective Dec. 30.

Existing officers in both departments will continue to handle police work until new leaders can be found.
