Human trafficking affects the most vulnerable in our communities. Meaningful engagement with marginalized and at-risk communities and those that serve those communities can build trust and sustainable relationships that in turn can improve responses to sex and labor trafficking. When effective and sustained community engagement is prioritized, more victims can be identified and provided with individualized services and more traffickers can be held accountable.

From a pandemic to civil unrest to police reform, it’s more important than ever that law enforcement effectively uses the communication tools at their disposal to impact the conversation. Whether we like it or not, social media has become the main source of information for many of those with whom we seek to communicate. In this one-hour seminar Chief Christopher Mannino, with a decade of experience in managing law enforcement public messaging and teaching communication strategies across the country, discusses why it is critical for law enforcement agencies to not only have a presence of social media, but an effective strategy as well, and how effective use of social media can be used by law enforcement leaders to build community trust in their agencies, impact the public conversation on law enforcement topics, and positively impact the culture of their departments. This timely course is brought to you by the Public Information Officer’s Section of the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
