Ms. Wynn isn’t the only new addition to the Dunwoody Police Department. Last month, five new officers were sworn in (L-R in photo with Mayor Deutsch and Chief Grogan: Officers David Stone, Ernesto Green, Brandon Everett, Taylor Mossman, Terrance Alexander). Two more DPD recruits will be sworn in next week, and a third recruit is set to graduate from the Police Academy soon.
It’s no secret that hiring is a challenge for law enforcement agencies across the country. Chief Grogan and his department have worked hard to stay competitive, and we support them in those efforts. In July, City Council unanimously approved a 6% pay raise for all police officers, detectives, sergeants, and lieutenants. These increases were on top of the city-wide adjustments of 3% at the start of 2022.
In addition, the police department offers a strong package of benefits, including the following:
- Take-home vehicle program
- 100% city-paid employee medical coverage immediately
- 90% city-paid family medical coverage immediately
- Employer retirement contribution up to 21.2%
- $6,000 signing bonus
- Up to $4,000 tuition assistance annually
- $800 monthly housing stipend for officers who live in Dunwoody
If you know of someone who might be interested, please share these details. Dunwoody is a great place to work. Police have been a priority since this City was founded, and I appreciate the community’s support.
