| Info | Chief Pennington was appointed as Atlanta's 22nd chief of police by Mayor Shirley Franklin and was confirmed by the Atlanta City Council in July 2002.
Currently, he is assessing the state of the department and is in the process of meeting with employees, citizens, public and private entities, and other stakeholders to develop a comprehensive plan for the future of the Atlanta Police Department. Part of that effort has included the appointment of Sgt. Connie Locke as the Atlanta Police Department's liaison to the LGBT community. Sgt. Locke will introduce Chief Pennington when he speaks to AEN on February 20.
Chief Pennington served in the United States Air Force in Vietnam and was honorably discharged to the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. He graduated with a bachelors degree in criminal justice from American University and received a masters degree from the University of the District of Columbia. He is also a graduate of the F.B.I. National Academy in Quantico, Virginia, the George Washington University Executive Development Program, the F.B.I. National Executive Institute, and the Senior Executives Program at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government.
Chief Pennington has been in active law enforcement for more than thirty years, starting his career with the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department in 1968. After serving many years in various capacities, including as the LGBT liaison for the Metro Police, he became superintendent of the New Orleans Police Department. While in New Orleans he focused on reducing crime and reforming corruption in the police department.
