It is an honor and privilege to serve as the Chief of Police for the Atlanta Police Department.
City of Atlanta Mayor Kasim
Reed has expressed, we all have a responsibility to perform at our best, while
working together to maintain the magnitude of excellence that our city
represents. Serving as chief does not mean that I am only
temporarily serving as your commander-in-chief. I have proudly served for
more than 28 years and will remain steadfast in continuing to serve with
profound professionalism, dedication and integrity. Throughout my years
with the Atlanta Police Department, I am grateful for the knowledge and wisdom
that I have gained through professional experiences and from numerous commanders
and peers.
I recognize the importance of having strong and
ethical leadership to enforce accountability and to oversee the operations of a
law enforcement agency. Coming up through the ranks, I recognize the
commitment and sacrifice of our police officers and the level of dedication from
our civilian employees. Additionally, I recognize that the roles played by
all of our police employees are imperative in order to make affective and
positive contributions to policing and creating a safer community.
I am looking forward to joining forces in the war
against crime with government officials, other law enforcement agencies, the
residential and business community, and the men and women of the Atlanta Police
Department. I must extend a heartfelt thank you to all of your hard work
and support. As your Chief of Police, I pledge to make a stance in
improving our department work environment, renewing our public safety efforts,
and enhancing the quality of life for the citizens of Atlanta.
