Media Open House

(Santa Fe, NM)—The Department of Public Safety is hosting an open house for all media. The Cabinet Secretary, the Chief of the State Police, and other leaders will present an overview of the past year and be available for interviews. In addition to the presentations and interviews, tours of facilities will be possible, including the Crime Lab, Training Academy, and the Emergency Management Center. This will be an excellent opportunity to make contact with those that oversee public safety for the state.

This rare opportunity will give reporters the occasion to conduct interviews for end of year stories, legislative previews, and to answer questions about the topic of the day, whatever that may be.
