<p>Roommates, The <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/atlanta-mayor-keisha-lance-bottoms-says-governor-kemp-is-trying-to-restrain-her-from-speaking-to-press-about-mask-mandate/">Atlanta</a> Police Department announced this week that they will no longer respond to car accidents without injuries due to the coronavirus. This is latest headline-making development from the Atlanta Police Department since the riots and protests started back in May.</p>
<p>If you have a <a href="https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/atlanta/atlanta-police-will-no-longer-respond-car-accidents-without-injuries-due-covid-19/KYMBUFVASRFGDPAR4EBZ5P3TFY/?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot">car accident</a> in Atlanta, there is a very high chance that local police officers won’t be responding to the scene unless there are serious injuries. In a written statement, the Atlanta Police Department confirmed the new change to officers responding to accidents.</p>
<p>“To protect the health and safety of our staff and customers, and to help mitigate the impact of COVID-19, the Atlanta Police Department will not be dispatched to the scene of non-injury automobile accidents,” the department wrote.</p>

<p>So, what does that mean for Atlanta residents who happen to find themselves in a non-life-threatening car accident? Well local police is asking that you complete an SR-13 form if you are involved in an accident without any injuries.</p>
<p>The APD has been at the center of various internal conflicts throughout the last few months, including the death of Rayshard Brooks at the hands of a local officer and the firing of multiple police officers who were charged with assault on two local college students from Morehouse and Spelman during the city’s lockdown back in May.</p>
