ICONS_Class-MPR_rgbFBI-LEEDA is pleased to present a five-day class on media and public relations. Police cannot succeed without the support of the community they are sworn to protect. The image of an agency as a professional and ethical organization is vitally important. By promoting a consistent, positive public image of your department, your community will come to perceive their police as an agency they can depend on and trust.

FBI-LEEDA LogoDay 1 focuses on various key influencers and how to communicate with each. Day 2 and 3 deal solely on traditional media relations and key messaging complete with active role play and a mock news conference, day 4 is spent entirely on crisis communications and a desk top crisis exercise, and the last day concentrates on how to strategically use social media to improve and augment community relations. Class size is limited to ensure individual participation in exercises. Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop, as writing exercises will be assigned during class.

Participants will learn how to craft and deliver messages that will help create a positive public perception and how to best utilize various forms of communication.
