The Atlanta Public Schools district is enhancing school safety measures as the new school year begins. The district's police department has increased its personnel, ensuring at least one officer is present on every campus, including elementary schools. A new tactical team has also been established within the police department.

This team recently conducted a training session, which was observed by Channel 2 Action News in July, focusing on response strategies for active shooter or threat situations. Further details about the enhanced safety measures and the tactical team's training are available from the source.
