Participants will learn different communication and public relations principles such as when responding to a complex, fast-moving crisis and how to adapt mental models to create a “unity of effort.”

One of the duties of public relations officers within the law enforcement community is to keep the public informed while having security in mind, being accurate, and following propriety and policy.
