On Thursday, July 24th at 6:30 pm, the Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council (ERNC) will sponsor a Public Safety Panelist Forum at Occidental College. The College is hosting the event by offering the community its lovely Branca Patio in the Johnson Student Center.

As the public arrives, they will find public safety information tables with representatives from the LAPD, LAFD, CERT, BLEND, Neighborhood Watch, and emergency preparedness. Special representatives from 44th District State Assemblywoman Carol Liu's office and 21st District State Senator Jack Scott's office will also sponsor information tables.

Join our invited Public Safety Forum participants for a frank discussion about the state of public safety in Northeast Los Angeles:

	Newly elected 14th Councilman Antonio Villaraigosa;
	Deputy Chief Gary J. Brennan, a 30-year LAPD veteran and Commanding Officer, Operations, Central Bureau;
	Captain Kyle Jackson, head of local Northeast LAPD;
	Fire Chief William R. Bamattre, head of the LAFD;
	local Battalion 2 Chief Arbuthnott; and,
	Prosecuting Deputy City Attorney Jeanne Kim

The panel will be moderated by TV/Radio personality, Jon Beaupre, who will read questions submitted by the public during the opening portion of the event. Some of the topics which are expected to be covered in the Forum are: crime statistics and trends in the city and the Northeast; how our neighborhoods are affected by criminal laws; Police and Fire Departments' recommended needs for new police and fire fighting personnel, equipment, technology and programs and how their delay will affect our communities; suggestions for local emergency preparedness and much more.

The panel discussion will be followed by a "Meet and Greet" reception where the public will be able to personally speak with the invited guests and city representatives.
