The Atlanta Police Department no longer manages the security for Atlanta Public Schools.

Beginning in the 2016-2017 school year, Atlanta Public Schools (APS) launched an internal Police Department that provides School Resource Officers assigned to provide safety and security for all APS students, staff, and its campuses. The APS Police Department is part of the district's Office of Safety and Security, approved by the Atlanta Board of Education in early 2016. In collaboration with staff, parents, communities, and local law enforcement partners, the district aims to align its safety and security measures to meet the unique needs of its learning environment.
