Georgia House passes bill that could abolish police department after Arbery shooting

AJC   "The Georgia House backed an effort Friday to dissolve the Glynn County Police Department following its handling of the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery.
"The House voted 152-3 to allow voters to decide to eliminate their county police departments, moving authority to county sheriff’s offices.
"There are several county police departments in Georgia, including in Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties. In counties where there are two agencies, the county police handle the enforcement of state and local laws while the sheriff’s office manages the jail." .  .  .



More here:   . . . "The legislation isn’t so simple after all, is it? The next move is for the House bill to move to the state Senate for further consideration."
