In conjunction with the Museum’s new exhibit, Without Warning, Ending the Terror of the DC Snipers, this special event brings together media professionals, law enforcement public information officers, and technology experts to explore how the response to major public safety incidents has evolved since the 2002 attacks. By examining both the role of media and advancements in policing technology, the program connects past events to present-day practices and future possibilities.Using the DC sniper case as a central point of reflection, panelists will discuss how the investigation unfolded under intense national media attention and how communication between law enforcement and the public was shaped in real time. The program will also highlight how law enforcement-media relations have significantly evolved over the past two decades, including the rise of digital communication, social media, and coordinated messaging strategies. The program will also address the balance between innovation, privacy, and public trust, creating space for thoughtful discussion on how these tools are implemented responsibly.
