About Us

Independent reporting on policing, civil liberties, public safety in Atlanta and US defense, written for readers who want the facts behind the headlines.

StopCop.City is an independent, US-focused newsroom covering policing, civil liberties, public safety in Atlanta and across the country, and US defense. We report on what is happening and explain why it matters: what a new weapon actually does, what a budget line means for the people in uniform, how a court ruling changes policing on the street, and how a conflict overseas reaches American families at home.

Our approach

Primary sources firstWe work from Department of Defense releases, budget documents, GAO and CRS reports, Bureau of Labor Statistics data and court records.
Plain EnglishDefense and policing are full of jargon. We explain acronyms, programs and numbers so any reader can follow.
Show our workEvery key figure is linked to its source so readers can check it for themselves.
Fair and factualWe separate reporting from analysis and give readers the strongest arguments on each side of contested issues.
