Register to join our first responders training
For over ten years APTP has provided support to families surviving police terror in their fight for justice, documenting police abuses and connecting impacted families and community members with resources, legal referrals, and opportunities for healing.
Our First Responders team leads this work, and will be hosting a training Saturday, February 26th! This session will focus on training you on copwatching and investigating incidents of police terror.
We need folks to join our First Responders teams in Oakland and Sacramento to help provide critical support to families impacted by police terror and more. Future trainings will become available to cover family and jail support.

Here’s an overview of what this training will cover:
- Independent Investigations: This part focuses on conducting independent people’s investigations including considerations on how to build your team, security and Know Your Rights considerations, required skills and infrastructure, preparation, identifying witnesses, trauma-informed interviewing, cultural humility, collecting evidence, and documenting investigations. We will use case studies from our investigations in Oakland, and provide time for knowledge and skill sharing, and discussion.
- CopWatching: In the great tradition of our Oakland’s Panthers, Brown Berets, and other radical grassroots community groups, we need to Police the Police! Learn how to observe and document police harassment in our communities, advocate for someone under arrest, and deescalate police intervention.
Join us to learn from organizers and community members who have been doing this work for years!
