The crisis communications training leaders wish they had received sooner. Effective. Engaging. Relevant.
About this Event

No matter how well your communications plan is written, it will only be as effective as the training and preparation the leaders on your team have received.

This engaging, fast-paced two-day course prepares public safety supervisors and PIOs for messaging when crisis strikes, whether it comes in the form of a critical incident outside the organization or controversy directed at it. This timely training prepares you to contribute to the public messaging when communication matters most.

Topics include:

  • Messaging in real time through social media (with case study)
  • The art of the effective news release
  • Managing misinformation online and in the media
  • Navigating the complex world of media relations
  • Winning the news conference from prep to post-conference
  • Practical exercises that put the training into practice
  • Mock news conference scenarios

Effective public communication has never been more complex or more important. Obtain time-tested tools to communicate through the inevitable critical incidents by a sought-after communications instructor.

Instructor Emilie Eager brings a diverse background, merging her media, law enforcement and public relations expertise. Previously, Julie Parker hired her to help lead the Media Relations Bureau for the Fairfax County Police Department in Virginia. While there she graduated from the PERF Senior Management Institute for Police. She was also honored as a 3-time Emmy award winning journalist during an extensive broadcast career. Emilie joins Julie Parker Communications after overseeing public relations for CARFAX, a leading brand in automotive.

Training certificates will be sent upon completion.
