College Park Police Officer Bernice Papius was recently honored by the Mayor and Council College Park city hall for subduing a murder suspect all on her own.

On January 12, Papius was transporting a detainee from College Park to the Fulton County jail. When she approached Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway, she was flagged down by bystanders who reported a person being stabbed.

APD sent letters of congratulations to the College Park Police Department, recognizing the Papius’ valor and good judgment. She has been employed by the city of College Park since June 2011.

The Mayor and Council of College Park presented Papius with a proclamation claiming Monday, March 4th as “Bernice Papius Day.”
