A Clayton County police officer is alleging that officials in the county's police department passed him over for a job transfer, and offered a spot on the department's narcotics squad to two other officers earlier this year, based on their race and gender.
Officer Nicholas Deaton filed a grievance with the county's Civil Service Board in May, complaining about "the promotion of employees based on race and sex," according to the agenda from a meeting the board held on Wednesday.
