Chamblee police officers placed well in last week's Georgia Tough Cop Competition.
One of the department's officers placed first, and another placed third. From a departmental statement:
The competition featured a challenging obstacle course followed by a 1.7 mile run in tough conditions. Competitors then returned and completed three other obstacles including a water carrying station, pushing a patrol car, and then carrying a rescue dummy across several steep hills.
The event was won by Chamblee Police Department Officer Valerian Khoshtariya with a winning time of 19 minutes, 25 seconds. Dalton Firefighter Douglas Kerns finished second overall with a time of 20 minutes 12 seconds. Chamblee Police Captain Mike Beller finished third overall with a time of 20 minutes 28 seconds. Great Job guys!
