Aligned with the SANE focus, Chief Dan spoke about the upcoming release of his Perfect Strangers documentary next Wednesday. We highly recommend you, your family and friends attend. Details below.
This powerful documentary film was created by our local police chief Dan Foss under the direction of Lou Douros, a local Emmy nominated independent filmmaker, writer, and director. It speaks to the pervasive power of seemingly innocent solicitations that leads to sexual exploitation being integrated into popular children’s gaming apps. A special community showing is scheduled for Wednesday April 29.
