In the face of on-going violence and evolving community-law enforcement dynamics, two Texas cities are showing what’s possible when trust, trauma-informed strategies, and authentic partnerships lead the way.

Fort Worth and Dallas are pioneering distinct—but equally powerful—approaches to community violence intervention (CVI), each shaped by local realities and driven by a shared commitment for a modern approach to public safety.

Join Fort Worth Police Department Deputy Chief Buck Wheeler alongside Dallas Police Department's Lieutenant Nicholas Lybrand and Sandra Sadduk, for a candid, tactical conversation about how their CVI models are evolving in real time.

Moderated by Ganesha Martin, this session will explore what it takes to build and sustain cross-sector collaboration that saves lives and restores communities.

Attendees will discover:
  • How law enforcement and community leaders are co-leading CVI efforts beyond traditional enforcement models
  • Lessons from building, evolving, and sustaining violence intervention programs rooted in trust, credibility, and data-informed strategies
  • Practical approaches to multi-agency collaboration—including law enforcement, social services, prosecutors, and grassroots partners
  • How to balance public transparency with community safety in data sharing, communication, and program design
  • Strategies to navigate workforce, funding, and political challenges while maintaining program legitimacy and long-term impact
  • How to tailor CVI models to meet the unique needs, assets, and dynamics of different communities
