June 2020 Group Watch: AL Investment in Law Enforcement Could be Biz Recruitment Tool
In some places, there are movements to defund and disband police, particularly in major American cities where dissatisfaction with local law enforcement is prevalent. U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer believes this not a mainstream view in Alabama and could present an opportunity for enhanced business recruitment from places downsizing their police and public safety operations. Palmer says that businesses want to locate in communities with quality education and public safety systems. He welcomes businesses to Alabama, noting it as a safe place to locate operations and raise a family.
