Kate talks about how Silence is not a winning strategy. The importance of police leaders speaking in times of crisis. The importance of frequent updates affirms the agency's voice in the discussion. Kate is a firm believer in transparency and we discuss transparency portals and these three questions that the public asks. Why do we keep seeing these headlines? How are you preventing a tragedy like this from happening here? How do we know if I can trust the police?  Listen to Kate's response about showing up in real-time with real answers.
