About the Site Profile
The profile is one of five available for the first responder departments and training providers that were selected for the First Responder Workforce Diversity Study, based on both the extent to which their first responder workforce is representative of the local population, and their use of practices that align with the human resources literature as being effective for developing a diverse workforce. The Atlanta Police Department (APD) was selected as a study site based on its representation of the population, and results from the policy scan that highlighted recent recruiting efforts targeting local Spanish-speaking communities.
