In December 2020, Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin and the Birmingham Public Safety Task Force released Reform and Reimagine Birmingham Public Safety. This report outlines the task force’s recommendations for improving public safety and policing in the city, as well as the mayor’s 2021-2025 public safety policy agenda. The report relies on CRRJ’s investigations of police killings in Jefferson County to provide historical context about policing in Birmingham. It includes language, key data points, and recommendations from CRRJ’s report, Police Killings in Jefferson County, Alabama: 1930-1970.
