The Atlanta Public Schools Police Department

APS sees many benefits of managing its own Police Department with in-house School Resource Officers in its schools. They include:

• Improve school safety and reduce school-based crime
• Diminish classroom time spent on discipline and behavioral disruptions
• Connect at-risk students to needed services, divert youth from juvenile court, and create safe, secure, and peaceful school environments.
• Increase feelings of safety among students, teachers, and administrators
• Improve relationships between law enforcement and youth
