In July 2021, Dan reached out to all 7 police chiefs in Hampton Roads and invited them to participate in a televised forum about the summer's surge in gun violence (see left).

This was a rare and unified appearance for the chiefs, in what we believe is the first time they've ever gathered together to discuss the topic publicly. 

Nothing was off the table: we talked guns, gangs, parental accountability, political timidity, solutions and more.

The special presentation "757 Gun Violence: Chiefs on the Crisis" was live streamed on our digital platforms. We then dedicated two evening newscasts (see below) to recapping some of the key takeaways and memorable moments.
