Social Media and Community Outreach

Description

Unlike many law enforcement social media courses taught by individuals outside the profession, this course is led by a seasoned law enforcement officer who created and managed one of the most successful and groundbreaking police department Facebook pages in the nation.  This course delivers real-world, proven strategies from someone who has done it firsthand.

Participants will gain a complete understanding of how to develop, grow, and maintain an impactful social media program that enhances community engagement, builds trust, and increases transparency. The course emphasizes a shift in philosophy—teaching agencies to adopt business-minded marketing strategies tailored to public service, while remaining grounded in the values of modern community policing.

You will learn the essential do’s and don’ts of social media management, including legal considerations, content strategy, and platform-specific guidance across Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, and more. Through interactive instruction, we’ll share insider tips and algorithm tricks that allow agencies to boost visibility and engagement without spending a dime on advertising.

This course is ideal for all public safety professionals: police, fire, EMS, dispatch, corrections, PIOs, and civilian support personnel. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to elevate an existing program, you'll leave with a complete, turnkey blueprint to launch or enhance a successful social media presence.

By the end of this course, you will be equipped with the tools and strategies to not only meet—but exceed—the public’s demand for transparency, accountability, and connection.
