Topic: "Tell Your Story Before Someone Else Does: Crisis Communications for Law Enforcement"
Law enforcement agencies are becoming more progressive about sharing their news and that’s a win we all should celebrate. This course is designed to provide leaders tools to help increase their ability to share that news accurately and quickly, when events warrant. The public's demand for immediate information and extreme transparency following a police use of force is increasing with every passing year. This presentation is designed to strengthen your command staff's ability to quickly and accurately, without damaging the investigation,
communicate with the public to enhance your department's reputation, even when the news itself isn't flattering.
