On November 19, 2009, Christophers Albers was given written notice that he would be terminated from his position as Chief of Police at Georgia Perimeter College “GPC”. Asserting a wrongful termination claim under the Georgia Whistleblower Statute,1 Albers sued the Georgia Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, GPC, and GPC’s President. The defendants moved for summary judgment, arguing that the facts did not support a whistleblower claim and that the applicable statute of limitation barred the action. The trial court granted the motion, and Albers appeals. For reasons that follow, we reverse.

Summary judgment is appropriate when no genuine issues of material fact remain and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.2 We review the grant of summary judgment de novo, construing the evidence and all reasonable conclusions and inferences drawn from it in the light most favorable to the non-moving party.3
