Speakers included Chief Art Acevedo (Austin Police Department), Dawn R. Handley (Austin Travis County Integral Care), and Dr. Michael L. Lauderdale (City of Austin Public Safety Commission). The panel was moderated by Robert Hadlock of KXAN-TV.

What innovations are needed to move toward constructive change?
