HEAT To Facilitate Law Enforcement Training

Today we're announcing a partnership with the Miami Police Department and Dedication to Community (D2C) to administer specialized training to Miami’s police force with the goals of positively impacting interactions between law enforcement and our diverse, local community—particularly the Black community—thus building trust, and addressing implicit bias and racism within society. This is part of our continuous effort to use our unique platform and standing in the community to deliver on our social justice pledge and effect positive change that uplifts the Black community. The partnership will begin with a pilot program, training a subset of Miami PD officers, with the longer-term goal of providing training to many, if not the entirety, of the Miami PD force.
