Police readying to hit the streets April 26
4/6/2008
The countdown for launch of the Johns Creek Police Department is heading into its final days. Recruitment efforts are complete. Our 56 sworn officers will conduct two weeks of intensive training prior to the launch, including practice with firearms and other equipment, review of departmental policies and procedures, and getting familiar with the city's streets.
The official transfer from Fulton County takes place at the stroke of midnight Saturday evening, April 26. Earlier Saturday, the department will hold a 4 pm launch ceremony and open house at its headquarters, 11445 Johns Creek Parkway. Staff will be introduced, the new headquarters shown off and law enforcement officials from adjoining cities and counties will be on hand to welcome Georgia's newest police force.
