Every Atlanta police officer to receive $500 bonus from foundation

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Police Foundation is paying a $500 bonus to every Atlanta police officer Thursday.

It will add up to more than $2 million in money the foundation has raised. No city funds will be used to pay for the bonuses.

They will also be purchasing at least 20 police cars to replace those that were destroyed in protests a few weeks ago.

The foundation told WSB-TV that the bonuses are a thank you for the long hours and hard work the officers put in over the past three months.
