About the Course
The only interaction many civilians have with law enforcement is through the
media they consume. For this reason, it is vital that officers to learn how to be a
positive and effective communicator with the media because if the media does
not get a story from the agency, they will make their own story. In this course,
Renee Yax will discuss the media’s role in incidents officers are responding to,
the different types of responses to the media, and what basics to give on
scene, if any, to the media.
