Police Militarization Conferences, Trainings & Expos
War Resister’s League’s police militarization campaign #NoSWATzone has been campaigning against SWAT-training and weapons expo Urban Shield for four years. But Urban Shield is just one police training amongst hundreds. We focus on police conferences, trainings and expos because we believe they are the engine of police militarization and repression. Find research below on a handful of the police trainings happening across the US, as well as info on how we are resisting them!
