Tyler Layne is an investigative reporter for WTVR CBS 6 News, covering a variety of issues across Central Virginia including local and state government, criminal justice, and human and health services. He's a native of Chesapeake, Virginia and a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University where he studied broadcast journalism.
His reporting on system failures has led to several public policy changes including new processes for how a Child Protective Services agency handles intakes of child abuse allegations and a police department general order that restricts officers from arresting mental health patients at hospitals who are in need of continued care.
Tyler has earned two Capital Emmy awards for producing coverage of breaking news, including the removal of Richmond's confederate monuments, and a regional Edward R. Murrow award for investigative journalism revealing safety and maintenance failures leading up to a fire that destroyed a historic Richmond elementary school.
