Over the past decade, the South Fulton Police Department has faced several disciplinary actions, including allegations of hostile work environments, misuse of authority, and mishandling of evidence. Notably, in 2022, an independent investigation confirmed multiple violations by a high-ranking officer, leading to her resignation. The department has also been subject to federal lawsuits alleging corruption and retaliation against whistleblowers. These incidents have prompted internal reviews and policy changes aimed at improving accountability and transparency within the department.
