Jena, City of Bakersfield

Do any of your agencies have a process of registering media agencies/reporters that want to show up at crime scenes, public meetings, or facilities?  At times, media are alllowed access into certain areas that may be sensitive. 

An example...A reporter who wants to enter the wasterwater treatment plant to get some video for a story regarding COVID testing of wastewater.  Just wondering if anyone has process in place for pre-clearance.

No plans in Santa Barbara to do this. Luckily, the number of local media staff remains small.
