The Atlanta Police Department will be participating in the National Faith & Blue Weekend (NFBW) from Friday, October 7, 2022 through Monday, October 10, 2022. The mission of Faith and Blue is to facilitate safer, stronger, and unified communities by supporting partnerships between law enforcement and citizens through the connections of different faiths
The Community Services Division will be spearheading our weekend of activities and we want to ensure that the Atlanta Police Department is well-represented since this is the flagship city.
Some of the events we are planning are listening sessions between officers and residents, a Halloween Costume drive with PAL, and meaningful dialogues with the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim faiths.
If you are interested in participating, please email enespy@atlantaga.gov.
