Atlanta Police Department

The Atlanta Police Department is the law enforcement agency for the city of Atlanta, Georgia. It was established in the year 1873 and now employs over 1,600 officers. Its main headquarters is located in Fulton County. In Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: Season One  Lee Everett was being taken to West Central Prison by a officer of this department. In the TV Series remnants of the APD are shown running a hospital in the remains of the city.

Atlanta, Georgia
Before the outbreak, the Atlanta Police Department operated in six patrol zones in and around Atlanta. The organization was led by George N. Turner as of 2010. At some point, they arrested Lee Everett for murdering a state senator, tried him, and sentenced him to jail.

"A New Day"
At the start of the episode, Lee Everett is being transported to West Central Prison by an unnamed member of the Atlanta Police Department. Through some discussion, he will reveal that he joined the force in the 1970s, and wanted to become a detective in a murder case similar to Lee's ordeal. He also talks about transporting another murderer to the same prison. While distracted, the officer crashes into a walker, sending the patrol car flying off the road and knocking Lee unconscious. The officer manages to escape the vehicle only to be overwhelmed by walkers and killed. Later, when Lee awakens, the officer reanimates and attacks him, forcing Lee to kill him with his shotgun. The fate of the other officers of the Atlanta PD is unknown. As Hershel later mentions that the news instructed people to remain in Atlanta, they likely tried to defend the city for as long as possible against the walkers alongside the military and FRS. However, Atlanta is later stated to be a stage 9 catastrophe, so the surviving members probably had to evacuate civilians as it was overrun.

Equipment
In The Walking Dead, the Atlanta Police Department uses 2001 Ford Crown Victoria interceptors as their patrol cars. Officers are armed with FN SLP shotguns and Glock 17 sidearms. Their uniforms consist of tan collared shirts and brown slacks with gold lining on the sides. In reality, the Atlanta PD uses Ford Police Interceptors and Smith & Wesson M&P sidearms.
