Strengthening Safety, Together: Norfolk Southern Supports New Public Safety Training Center

Norfolk Southern proudly joined Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, and other leaders to celebrate the opening of Atlanta’s latest investment in public safety — the Atlanta Police Foundation’s Public Safety Training Center.

Why it matters: This facility equips first responders with the real-world training they need to protect Georgia communities — strengthening emergency response capabilities city and statewide.

Our role:

• Helped fund a new Fire Station and a dedicated Safety Train

• Made the Safety Train the permanent base for our Operation Awareness and Response (OAR) program in metro Atlanta
• Reinforced our long-standing commitment to community safety

Jason Morris, Norfolk Southern SVP and Chief Legal Officer, said:

“At Norfolk Southern, safety is a core value. We are proud to support this new public safety training center — because when public and private sectors collaborate, we can make meaningful progress in protecting our communities.”
 

The big picture: With more than 4,500 employees and 1,200 customers in Georgia, Norfolk Southern’s investment in public safety strengthens the foundation for long-term growth and community resilience.
