Community Briefing Videos: Ensuring Consistent Crisis Communication before, during, and after a Critical Incident
On March 4, 1991, local Los Angeles news stations broadcasted the Rodney King incident for the first time. Over the next 30 years, our communities have become indoctrinated with the expectation of information and video evidence from their police departments following critical incidents. Advancements in camera and cell phone technology coupled with the social media boom have greatly influenced how and when agencies must communicate.
Public safety leadership must prepare their agencies through consistent communication utilizing these non-traditional platforms to create a dialogue with those they serve. In the event of a critical incident, such as an officer-involved shooting, leadership must consider maintaining this community dialogue while measuring the perspectives of all stakeholders within the event.
This presentation will highlight the proliferation of crisis communication in the modern law enforcement landscape with those evolving expectations from our communities.
