VA SPJ: Accessing police records in Virginia

SPJVA and the Virginia Coalition for Open Government held a webinar June 17 about House Bill 2004 — a new state law designed to provide a measure of access to inactive criminal investigative files. Here is video of the event, which features Megan Rhyne, executive director of VCOG, and Del. Chris Hurst, a former journalist who sponsored the legislation.

Lots of SPJDC members are in Virginia, so we thought this would be of value to share with our membership.
