This is where i live. Atlantas Fulton County and Dekalb county..
DeKalb County, GA police to get
highest starting pay in metro Atlanta
From The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, April 14, 2005
DeKalb Chief Executive Officer Vernon Jones said today he is raising starting pay for police officers to make them the highest paid among the five largest police departments in metro Atlanta.
Jones said the existing county budget will cover the new
starting salary of $35,796 a year for both police officers and fire medics.
Fire medics have more medical training than some lower-paid classifications of firefighters, but the county Fire Rescue Department no longer hires new employees below the level of fire medic, said county government spokesman Burke Brennan.
Gwinnett County recently raised its starting police pay to $35,197, moving ahead of Cobb, DeKalb and Fulton levels and close to
Atlanta's $35,472. Jones' executive order raises DeKalb to the top of the list by giving starting police officers a raise of $1,368 a year and fire medics a raise of $1,002 a year.
