"The reason why I chose this department was because compared to other departments I visited, Marietta was the only department that gave me a close family vibe. The officers and front desk personnel were extremely friendly and inviting. When I got hired, I was welcomed with open arms. Everyone was willing to help and maximize my potential as a police officer. The training is one of the many things that I love about Marietta P.D. Our training is well planned, thought out, and organized. Our instructors prepare us for almost every situation that we may encounter on the streets physically and mentally. The Marietta Police Department has not only helped me grow as a police officer, but as a man and I am extremely thankful for being a part of such a wonderful Department."

"I chose the Marietta Police Department after a positive internship experience sponsored by the University of Georgia. During my internship I was able to observe several different uniformed officers, officers assigned to special units, and administration personnel consistently strive to make a difference for the residents of Marietta and Cobb County . I also observed an upbeat work environment with motivated professional officers. The professional standards exemplified by the men and women of the Marietta Police Department were in line with my personal standards and I knew would motivate me to higher professional and personal goals. Over the past two and a half years as a Marietta Police Officer serving on Evening Watch, I have observed the department’s continued commitment to training and development. The quality of Marietta Police Departments training and/or training opportunities continues to surpass any of that offered by another local or state agency. The Command Staff emphasizes the safety and success of its officers by providing cutting edge technology and tools such as electronic weapons, electronic ticketing, and T3 patrol platforms to enhance our patrol and community response capabilities. Working as an officer on Evening Watch continues to challenge me daily, in my professional and personal life, as I strive to uphold the Departments commitment to being a 'Difference Maker.'"
