SOUTH FULTON, Ga. — The City Of South Fulton is placing Police Chief Keith Meadows on administrative leave during an independent review of the police department.
City officials say it is a procedural step when any department is under a formal review to ensure the process remains unbiased and free from internal influence.

Officials say it is a temporary paid administrative leave and it takes effect on Aug. 5.
