Atlanta Adult Entertainment: Atlanta Police Department looks to expand

The new officers, which would be funded in the 2012 budget, would be broken into two pools. Turner said 44 of the officers will go to the airport to support the opening of the new terminal.
“The airport piece is a no-brainer,” he said.
There are currently 133 officers at the airport, which at one time was considered a dumping ground for bad officers. But Turner said that perception has changed, as evident by the low crime rate. This year, there have been only 90 crimes reported at the airport, with 66 of those being shoplifting.
“The airport is a controlled environment and veteran officers enjoy that environment,” Turner said.
The other 56 will remain within the city to create two new units and beef up others. In one, six detectives will investigate computer and Internet crimes against children who are being sold and traded into prostitution.
