TALLULAH FALLS, Ga. — The Tallulah Falls Police Department is undergoing an internal audit following multiple reports of potentially unethical behavior.
The investigation, first reported by Now Georgia, centers on allegations involving off-duty details and how officers are compensated for that time.
While the exact nature of the complaints remains confidential, the audit seeks to determine whether department protocols or ethical standards were violated.
Official statements
City officials confirmed the audit but declined to discuss specifics.
Mayor Mike Early confirmed that “an audit of the police department” is underway. He said he is “not at liberty to discuss the details” until the process is complete.
Police Chief Tonya Elrod said she has “fully cooperated with the audit” and that she “looks forward to the outcome.”
Origin of the claims
The allegations were shared with Now Georgia through multiple emails from various sources. While the identities of the whistleblowers have not been verified, there is speculation the information may have come from former department employees.
