Vehicles are an integral part of the majority of criminal activity and therefore being able to locate the current and past whereabouts of a vehicle can be critical in solving crimes. Technology offers resources for locating vehicle activity, but law enforcement needs to know what data is available, how to capture it, and what to do with it when they have it. Law enforcement also needs to be aware of the due diligence needed when interacting with this data.

This webinar will cover specific, demonstrated approaches from an individual and agency perspective to identify, respond to, manage, and prevent distress that impacts an officer’s ability to do their job effectively.

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.
