The media filter can cause misunderstandings and distortions of police activities such as officer involved shootings and other uses of force. Making sure the public has proper information and context isn’t just a PR play; it is critical part of public service. Mass notifications can provide a direct source of truth, helping you shape public understanding and media narratives.

Join Mike Parker, Commander with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (retired), as he presents Communication Strategies for Media Relations. He discusses notifications that can help you:

  • Influence stories early in the incident lifecycle
  • Provide media resources 
  • Refute false and misleading stories and get the right story out
  • Facilitate ongoing effective information exchange
