Not in Our Town is proud to announce that the National Leadership Gathering in Billings, Montana this month will include groundbreaking leaders in hate crime prevention and community policing.

Among them are San Francisco Police Commissioner Victor Hwang (subject of the Not in Our Town film A Prosecutor’s Stand), San Diego Deputy District Attorney Oscar Garcia, and Lt. Brian Murphy, shot 17 times defending the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin where six worshippers were killed in a hate crime. Murphy is featured in the Not In Our Town film, Waking in Oak Creek [1], that premiered this spring. 

Many more law enforcement leaders will be attending the National Leadership Gathering from communities of all sizes across the country.

The Gathering will feature strategies and case studies from Not in Our Town’s ongoing programs with the U.S. Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Office [2].
