Officer King joins Senior Patrol Officer Brian Sharp, the other LGBT liaison for the APD.
“I am honored to serve as an LGBT liaison for the Atlanta Police Department and I want to strengthen relationships and improve the communication between the Department and the LBGT community,” King said in a prepared statement.
