ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Police Department will hold a job fair for new officers at its public safety headquarters next week.

The department is looking for "dedicated, community-minded individuals to join our ranks of sworn officers and become part of our force for positive change in Atlanta," spokesman Carlos Campos said in a statement.

The fair will begin promptly at 8 a.m. on Monday, February 13; those who arrive late will not be admitted. Attendees should expect the interview and testing process to take about six hours.

Business attire is required, as is a government-issued ID card. For more information, visit www.joinatlantapd.org.

Public safety headquarters is located at 226 Peachtree Street SW in Downtown Atlanta.

The Atlanta Police Department hopes to reach a force of 2,000 officers, and has hired 500 new officers in the past two years alone, according to Campos.
