RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginia's attorney general has scheduled three appearances across the state to announce what he calls a major initiative to promote 21st century policing.

Attorney General Mark R. Herring starts his day Tuesday in Arlington, followed by stops in Richmond and Norfolk.

Herring said he will be joined by community and law enforcement leaders at each appearance. Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security Brian Moran is also scheduled to offer remarks.

Police tactics have come under a national microscope because of series of high-profile incidents involving officers and civilians, including the fatal shooting of suspects in Virginia.
