ACRB Content Writers Club
The ACRB offers volunteer opportunities for citizens who have a flair for creating written content. This is an opportunity for expression and sharing your thoughts and concerns about officer accountability and civilian oversight on the ACRB Blog. We believe everyone has a story or viewpoint that should to be heard. Our blog is about connection and community-building. If you are a budding writer or a seasoned professional or just want to contribute to the conversation, please join the ACRB Content Writers Club.
One of the ACRB’s foundational activities is citizen engagement. The agency values citizens’ experiences and thoughts about officer accountability and policing. The ACRB provides a credible, independent forum where complaints against Atlanta police and corrections officers can be received, assessed, investigated, mediated, and adjudicated. Community engagement is a core feature of the agency. Our Content Writers Club is a part of the agency’s continuous effort to facilitate community conversations on civilian oversight, officer accountability and policing.
