Panelists will include Deanne Tilton Durfee, executive director of the Inter-Agency Council on Child Abuse and Neglect; LAPD Deputy Chief Martin Pomeroy, commanding officer of the Valley Bureau, and Cyndi James Gossett, a child abuse prevention advocate.
Co-sponsored by the San Fernando Valley Chambers of Commerce and the LAPD, the event is open to the public.
