Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) reaffirmed his support for the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center in Georgia during his State of the State address, even as opponents continue to stop the facility they have dubbed “Cop City” from being built.

Kemp, speaking before a joint session of the Georgia General Assembly on Thursday, expressed how “safety and security” have been a “top priority” for him since he took office and thanked Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and other officials for working with him to combat crime.
