Community Town Hall

Join the NABJ Region IV at Aggie Square for a timely and important community conversation exploring the intersection of media, policing, and public trust. This open town hall brings together journalists, law enforcement leaders, and community members for an honest dialogue about transparency, accountability, and how public narratives are shaped.

Designed as an interactive exchange rather than a lecture, the session invites diverse perspectives, questions, and lived experiences. Together, we’ll examine how decisions are communicated and reported, navigate complex and sensitive issues, and identify opportunities to strengthen trust and collaboration between media, law enforcement, and the communities they serve.

Speakers

• Panelists:
  • Daniel Hahn — Retired Sacramento Police Chief
  • Carmen Best — Retired Seattle Police Chief
  • Jim Cooper — County Sheriff, Sacramento
