The Atlanta Police Foundation announced it is giving $500 to every Atlanta police officer this week to show appreciation in the wake of anti-police sentiment and walk-offs.

“We felt like it was important at this time because the morale is at the level, there is the rumors of other officers leaving, and we just do not want to lose good police officers,” said Dave Wilkinson, with the Atlanta Police Foundation, in an interview on Thursday.
