ECCB Media Training for ECCU Police Officers

• Crisis communication never happens in isolation – it must be coordinated with multiple departments. • Establish who should always be your first point of contact for media inquiries. • Senior leadership needs to be informed quickly but with accurate information – verify facts before escalating. • Legal team consultation is essential before releasing statements about significant incidents. • Regulatory authorities may need to be notified of certain events – know these requirements in advance. Coordination with other law enforcement should follow established protocols – who informs the public about what? •
