Implementing Social Media Strategy for Law Enforcement
February 28, 2018 @ 8:30 am - 4:30 pm
This one day course has been designed to meet the practical needs of police personnel assigned to create, implement, and/or manage a social media strategy for a Law Enforcement agency. This is great training for Public Information Officers as well.
This course will provide insight into the history of law enforcement use of social media, how to create agency accounts on the most popular social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), legal considerations, civil rights considerations, creating engaging content, and an overview of additional social media platforms and tools.
The main goal of this course is to educate police personnel on how to successfully create social media accounts for their agencies, manage content within legal guidelines and community expectations, and successfully promote their agency and law enforcement in general.
Facilitator: Christopher Mannino currently serves as Chief of Police of the Park Forest Police Department in suburban Chicago. He holds a Master’s Degree in Political and Justice Studies and is a graduate of the 237th session of the FBI National Academy. Mannino serves on the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police Public Relations Committee and is a social media manager for the International Association of Chiefs of Police. His goal in providing this training is to help law enforcement personnel better represent their agencies and engage their communities within the framework of legal considerations and the challenges posed by social media.
