9:05 – 9:22 (17mins)  Brenda Talent, CEO of the Show-Me Institute, 
to discuss crime and public safety in the City of St. Louis?  Show-Me is working on a report that will be released later this year on the public safety climate in the City of St. Louis. The data says crime trends are improving in the City of St. Louis, but perception, trust, and visible disorder still shape how safe the city feels. Brenda can walk through what the data really show, where serious challenges remain, like homicide and car theft, and the challenge of public confidence not keeping up with the numbers. 

she will also promote our February 10 public event on crime and public safety at MAC West from 5 to 6 p.m., moderated by Patrick Tuohey.
