Mableton Names First Police Chief | Atlanta News

Mableton takes a bold step forward by naming Kerry Stallings as its first public safety director — a move set to build a brand-new police department from the ground up. With a 5-1 City Council vote, Stallings, currently overseeing campus safety for the University System of Georgia and formerly a captain in Powder Springs, brings proven leadership to the role. He’s eager to craft a force that reflects Mableton’s community and earns its trust. This appointment comes as the city’s contract with Cobb County ends, leaving temporary county patrols in place while negotiations continue. Amid calls from some residents to review or even dissolve the city — despite voters approving Mableton’s creation just two years ago — this new chapter signals determination to forge its own future.
