Overview

The International Conference on Securitization and Information Policy offers an overview of key concepts required to succeed in today’s challenging miasma of information and reputation management environment. 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. Public relations has the tough task of keeping the public aware of security information. The public affairs community with the law enforcement of different countries is expected to provide support for managing the flow of news and information for different military and security agencies.

Regardless of your background, the ability to lead and supervise people, communicate effectively, and understand the wheels of government are all valuable skills. In particular, this training opportunity will provide government officials with best practices on strategic communications.

Learning Focus:

Through interactive lectures, hands-on workshops, case studies, self-assessments, and other experiential learning opportunities, participants will explore the dynamics of information sharing amid the growing misinformation and disinformation in a changing political and economic landscape. The curriculum balances debate and analysis with structured opportunities for reflection and personal development to ensure that participants become architects of change. The weeklong training is designed to provide insights into global trends, reputation management, decision-making, building partnerships, and good governance protocols.

This intensive, interactive, and participatory program will use fresh, actionable, and inspiring leadership content from a world-class faculty from New York and New Jersey.
