Owe state taxes? Choose safety for Atlanta.

Supporting the Less Crime Act isn’t an extra expense — it’s a way to redirect Georgia taxes you already owe. Through a dollar-for-dollar state tax credit, your contribution goes directly to the City of Atlanta Police Department for hiring bonuses, training, education, and the equipment officers need every day while working for the City of Atlanta Government.

Support officers like Officer Gilliom by redirecting your tax dollars now! To learn more, click here: https://ow.ly/meI450ZW1UR
