The Policing Project congratulates the Atlanta Police Alternatives and Diversion (PAD) Initiative, a leading non-police alternative response program, on its renewed contract through 2026. As we explained in our joint letter of support with the Center for Innovations in Community Safety at Georgetown Law and other research and advocacy organizations, Atlanta PAD has developed an impressive track record of success serving Atlanta residents with critical services in place of unnecessary arrest, while also serving as a national model of what successful alternative response programs can look like. We celebrate this recognition of the program's success and urge other cities to follow its lead.
