Huntsville Police will receive Implicit Bias Training starting in April. The training is aimed at building trust and understanding, working together to better protect the community. Mayor Tommy Battle spoke about the initiative at an activism event with faith leaders from Faith In Action and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference at Fellowship Presbyterian Church in Huntsville Sunday evening.
Faith In Action Alabama has been calling for Huntsville Police to budget for the training for months. But Mayor Battle said the department was already planning to introduce this training to the force.
