Public Safety Forum featuring District Attorney Nathan Hochman - Presented by Variety
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce presents the 2026 Public Safety Forum, a timely and solutions-driven conversation bringing together civic leadership, law enforcement, and community partners to address the evolving public safety landscape in Hollywood. Hosted at the iconic Taglyan Cultural Complex, this high-impact forum will feature a keynote conversation with Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman, offering insight into the role of the justice system, accountability, and policy in creating safer communities after his first year in the role.
Prior to the keynote, a dynamic panel discussion will unite public safety leaders to explore coordinated strategies around crime prevention, transit safety, homelessness response, and public-private collaboration. Panelists will share real-world perspectives, data-driven approaches, and actionable solutions aimed at strengthening safety across Hollywood and the greater Los Angeles region. To date, Captain Manny Chavez, Hollywood Area Commanding Officer at LAPD and Angela La Riva, Vice President of Public Safety at The Hollywood Partnership, and Carlos Rico, Senior Manager for Transit Safety at LA Metro, are confirmed panelists. Our moderator for the event will be award-winning television Journalist and Anchor at CNN, Elex Michaelson.
