New Chief Builds Trust in Greensboro

New Greensboro Police Chief Kamran Afzal is already shaking things up in his first month, prioritizing trust and transparency as he tackles the city’s rising violent crime. With 14 homicides this year and multiple shootings in just one week, Afzal is meeting community leaders and officers to rebuild relationships from the ground up. He plans to release body cam footage swiftly—like his previous role—and visit patrol officers weekly to hear their frontline perspectives. Viewing crime through a public health lens, he believes addressing root causes like economic inequality is key to breaking cycles of violence—and that lasting change requires deep community partnerships.
