I've been reading all of the posts about the Atlanta Police Department for a few weeks now. And I must say, I am not impressed. I've recently applied, but after reading some of the comments about the APD I kind of wish I didn't.
I've only read of one officer happy to work with the APD and even he doesn't sound to ecstatic at times. As a matter of fact he mentioned wanting to leave at one time do to the bad morale and low pay.
As for me, I've applied to numerous agencies (including APD), just trying to get my foot in the door. I've wanted to be a police officer for as long as I can remember and am willing to relocate anywhere.
If I get in, that will be great. If not, no big deal. If Atlanta wants me, I'll go, but I won't be too excited about it. Not as excited if I got in to some other large agency.
My real question is not about the APD, (I think I know enough about the APD just by visiting this forum) but rather about the city of Atlanta. Do you guys enjoy living there? I know the cost of living is low, but that usually means that the economy sucks. Is that true?
Hows the way of life there. I know traffic can be an issue, but how about everything else.
Aside from working with the APD, are you happy to live in Atlanta?
If you've lived in any other large city, can you please compare it to Atlanta.
I'm just trying to get a feel for the city.
Thanks.
