Managing the Media and Your Message
Sooner or later, it is going to happen. You will find yourself in front of a television camera or on the other side of a microphone or a telephone call being asked to comment on an incident involving a threat to public safety. It may be a homicide, or a house fire, or a water main break. But how would you respond? What information would you share? Perhaps more importantly, what would you refuse to say?
NIPSTA announces a training program specifically designed to meet the needs of supervisory-level officials who have direct contact with the press. “Media Relations for Department Directors” is a one-day session that addresses the “rules of engagement” and offers valuable interview skills that can be put into practice – before it’s too late!
Instructor Rick Rosenthal, formerly of WGN-TV, WGN Radio, and WMAQ/NBC Radio, will offer his unique perspective in an entertaining format to those who must manage the flow of information during a crisis situation. Register now to attend on June 11, 2013.
Police Simulations Based in Reality
NIPSTA continues its unique series of hands-on workshops for police officers to participate in scenario-based training. Sessions involve the use of SIMUNITIONS firearms and equipment in force-on-force situations. Participants learn proper techniques to be employed in high-risk situations.
The 2013 schedule of training includes the following:
General Arrest Encounters & Building Search – May 24
Vehicle Stops – May 30
