After months of conversations with the mayor’s office, community, and coalition partners, we again spoke before Atlanta City Council to push for the adoption of a ‘CCOPS’ ordinance that would give Atlantans more control over police surveillance tech decisions.

Everything from contracts with Flock to the purchase of new AI-powered tools. City leaders have presented a few versions of an oversight ordinance; the best option remains a policy that ensures the community has a say in these important decisions. Learn more at acluga.org/popatl.
