LAW ENFORCEMENT PUBLIC INFORMATION WORKSHOP

Public information and education programs conducted by law enforcement agencies vary widely across the country. Some agencies, particularly in larger cities and at the state level, have actively promoted public information and outreach, but many smaller agencies have not had the resources to develop effective proactive techniques. Often the police chief or sheriff may carry out these responsibilities in addition to many others.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has developed a 3-day workshop to enhance the role of public information in law enforcement. The goal of the Law Enforcement Public Information Workshop is to teach the skills needed to collaborate with the media, work with community organizations, and communicate messages as effectively as possible. The outcome is to conduct better public information programs.

The workshop is intended for public affairs officers, commanders, and law enforcement administrators who:

  • work with the media to promote the agency and enforcement issues

  • distribute information about traffic safety and law enforcement issues to a variety of audiences within their jurisdiction

  • plan, sponsor, and implement traffic safety and prevention programs

  • prepare briefings for administrators and line officers who interact with the public and the media.

    People from the following types of organizations will find the workshop helpful:

  • Public information and public relations officers from state and local police agencies, highway patrols, sheriff's departments, college and university enforcement agencies, American Indian reservations, law enforce-ment administrators, and those who work with traffic safety issues.

  • Officials from state and county agencies who work with the enforcement community on highway safety enforcement issues (for example, POST agencies, state highway safety offices).

  • Members of state, county, or national enforcement organizations, such as the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the National Sheriffs' Association.

    The Law Enforcement Public Information Workshop curriculum consists of an Administrator Guide, Instructor Manual, Reference Guide, Participant Workbook, and Videotape.

    If you are interested in attending a scheduled workshop, or conducting the workshop in your own agency, contact your state Governor's Representative for Highway Safety or your NHTSA Regional Office. Addresses of the 10 NHTSA Regional Offices and the states they serve are on the next page.
