As Mayor Andre Dickens said, "You've stepped up. You've delivered. You've met that expectation and exceeded that expectation."

When the world came to Atlanta (City of Atlanta Government) for the FIFA World Cup 2026, the City of Atlanta Police Department did exactly that.

Protecting and serving our city is never easy. Yet throughout one of the world's largest sporting events, APD officers and public safety professionals met the moment with professionalism, dedication, and excellence.

Thank you for keeping Atlanta safe, welcoming, and ready to shine on the global stage. We are proud to support the men and women who serve our city every day.

Suspect Arrested: A Crime Stoppers Greater Atlanta (CSGA) tip over the July Fourth weekend helped law enforcement locate and arrest convicted Tier-3 s*x offender and fugitive Gary Diggs.

CSGA and the City of Atlanta Police Department received a tip and quickly coordinated with the Fulton County Sheriff's Office, the U.S. Marshals task force, and local law enforcement partners in Louisiana. That collaboration led to Diggs’ arrest over the holiday weekend, successfully concluding the search that began after he absconded mid-trial in early June and underscoring the continued value of Crime Stoppers as a trusted public safety tool.
