YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The murder of George Floyd last year not only prompted worldwide protests, but also sparked calls for sweeping police reforms.

One city that has taken steps to change is Newark in the US state of New Jersey.

Police there were dogged by corruption in the past, but after swift intervention, the service was transformed.

In 2020, officers didn't fire a single gunshot.

Newark now wants to be a model for better community policing - but not all residents agree it's working.
