City officials, law enforcement members and business leaders gathered last week to honor Atlanta police officers that went above and beyond the call of duty.
“Every year, I’m amazed that we have men and women that answer the call every year, I’m amazed of the extraordinary work that is done to save Atlanta’s lives and make this a safe city,” Chief Darin Schierbaum said.
More than 24 Atlanta police sworn officers and civilian employees were recognized at the Atlanta Police Foundation’s annual “Crime is Toast” awards breakfast.
