Join us for reform as we talk about the adoption of aggressive, military-style tactics and use of unused military weapons and equipment by police departments. It has been on the rise for decades, and nowhere is it more apparent than in “Cop City,” the nickname given to the massive and expensive Atlanta Public Safety Training Center. City officials say the center could improve policing. Critics claim the effort is militarizing police and endangering communities. We will discuss the ongoing conflict, why there is cause for concern, and efforts to reform militarized policing.
