Security officers at a jail in Atlanta have walked off the job due to a financial dispute between the Fulton County Sheriff's Office and a third-party contractor that employs them. The sheriff's office revealed that it owed over $1 million to Strategic Security Corp, leading to the termination of the contract.
The sudden departure of the security officers created a safety concern at the county's main jail, prompting the sheriff's office to deploy employees from various divisions to staff the facility.
