General Atlanta PD's new recruitment video
- Thread starter kvr28
- Start date
Very sad
Supposedly this is spreading through a lot of departments to connect and get name recognition for applicants. I guess it's better than the Harlem Shake from years ago that was going around

I have to go to Atlanta on a semi-regular basis for friends, family, and work. I don't ever feel unsafe, but I hate that area of Georgia with damn near every fiber of my being. The amount of dumb shit I see every time I go down there bottles the mind. We need to nuke that area into bolivian.
I love North Georgia and other parts of the state, but fuck Atlanta.
Are there no PT standards?
Once you get out of the academy, no. Unions fight against them. A lot of departments offer cash incentives though. We would get a 1000 dollar bonus if we took it yearly and scored in the 90th percentile of the cooper standards.
Aside from layovers at the airport (which was almost always under construction & dirty), I've only been through Atlanta once. I was taking a bus across country to go back to my sophomore year in college.
On the plus side, I went through in 1996 right after the Olympics ended, and all the signs and posters and other Olympics stuff was still up around the city. That was pretty cool.
On the negative side, I also went through the same bus station that had the big bomb scare during the Olympics (I went through there maybe a week after it happened? Not long.) And because the station was such a clusterfuck, they lost my bag.
I didn't even know losing your bag on a bus was even a thing. I thought the airlines had a monopoly on that, but apparently not.

Same - I remember driving through about 12 years ago - the highways were lawless....no license plates and people driving like it's Mad Max.
Then Mike Brown happened and my home city looks exactly the fucking same....swirling down the shitter because of black politicians. They're gone now and we have a chance to bounce back somewhat....cops are already making their presence felt in the city/county limits thank fucking god.
Sit down, officer.
We had our yearly corporate retreat there, it was right down town. I remember taking the train from the airport, all I smelled was urine and it got worse from there. We were walking to a restaurant for dinner and got approached by a bum. He asked one of the guys in our group for a dollar, he said sorry I only have hundreds. I looked at him and said are you fucking stupid?
