As a member of the East Point Police Department, you will serve a thriving community of approximately forty thousand in the heart of the bustling Atlanta metropolitan area. East Point police personnel enjoy the high-spirit of a close-knit professional family as well as the respect and appreciation of the citizens whom they serve.

Each member of this select agency receives rigorous and ongoing professional training certified by the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council designed to give each officer a high level of proficiency in all aspects of law enforcement. 

Without question, it takes an individual of above average standards and qualifications to become one of the few - an East Point Police Officer. Perhaps the single most important qualification required of all personnel of the East Point Police Department is an individual willingness to serve. It is this spirit of willingness which forms the fabric of this very special and select department. It is this spirit which makes each individual officer, and the Department as a whole, a part of the community which we serve. Our pride, professionalism and esprit de corps enable us to maintain the peace and keep order in such a way as to earn the admiration of other departments throughout the country and, most importantly, the respect of the citizens we serve. 

Individual pride, proficiency and professionalism have long been hallmarks in our department. In keeping with this tradition, we seek only the best - the exceptional individual as a recruit. You may be sure that each member of this Department is a qualified, highly trained, and confident professional. 

These are exceptional standards to be sure, but this is an exceptional Police Department and an exceptional opportunity for the few who have what it takes.
