Abstract: Prominent among police reform policy discussions is a focus on recruitment (particularly of BIPOC officers), as well as a reorientation of policing away from a “warrior” mindset. This study examines levels of militarization found in police recruitment videos to determine whether organizational and environmental variables predict the themes advertised to potential applicants.
