An Atlanta police officer might soon find himself in trouble for letting a girl take photos on his police car for Instagram. The Atlanta Police Department is investigating the photo that showed up on Instagram with the girl sitting on the hood. The APD is not happy about this photo and wants to know who the officer is and if this violated in code of conduct policies. If the department determines that rules were violated that officer in the photo could face discipline and possibly be terminated. Ken Vance of Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council had this to say.
“It means, that officer doesn’t understand what professionalism is…Some officers don’t get it. They overuse the power of the badge, the gun and a marked car, and that’s just a sign of major league immaturity on their part.”
One day people will not allow social media to cost them their jobs. That is my dream for the future.
