Atlanta police department reorganizes

In the wake of the shooting death of a 92-year-old woman last fall, the Atlanta Police Department has made sweeping changes. Chief Richard Pennington announced an overhaul of the narcotics unit, which includes 14 new investigators and 3 sergeants. A new Lieutenant is taking over the unit, and there are plans to add 30 more officers by the end of the year. Department-wide, more than 140 personnel changes were made.

Kathryn Johnston was shot and killed November 21st when narcotics officers rushed into her home. They had a no-knock warrant based on false information from a drug informant. Two officers already have pleaded guilty in the case while a third officer still faces charges.
