The Scam and Crimes Report

Steve Rose began his law-enforcement career in 1976. After a short stint with Chamblee Police, he joined Fulton County Police where he spent the next 26 years, working mostly out of the north precinct in Sandy Springs. He retired on February 9, 2oo6, a day before his new career with the new Sandy Springs Police Department.

Lt. Rose spent nine year as the community affairs commander before moving to the south district command and later night command positions. He retired as a captain in late May, returning as a civilian to run the department's Volunteers in Police Services (VIPS) program where he remains today.

Steve is the author of "Why Do My Mystic journeys Always Lead to the Waffle House?", a collection of "View from a Cop" columns he wrote for the AJC's Northside Edition for several years. His new book "Spam, Scams, and Other Serious Things You Shouldn't Worry About" is due this summer.

Steve has been married to Sandra Rose, also retired from Fulton County and Sandy Springs Police. They have been married for 21years and have four children and seven grandchildren. They split their time between their boat on Lake Lanier and babysitting grandchildren.
