media, selecting a PIO (public information officer), TASERฎ,

POLICE & FIRE IMAGE MANAGEMENT |
|
PHOENIX - It can be said that
the image of most agencies in a democracy are managed almost
entirely by the media. Just as
the media print and broadcast ideas and impressions of Hollywood
celebrities and public officials, so too will it put forth the
image of police and fire agencies. The credo of the working journalist is
to hold accountable those in positions of power, and to keep a
close eye on the rights of the underdog.
Nevertheless, much of the media
interpretations can be criticized as being grossly biased for
the purpose of generating controversy and sales.
As the image of law enforcement and sometimes the fire service is often quite literally under
the gun, it is wise for law enforcement agencies to develop
their own
media management systems and, in so doing, offer accurate
information that sheds positive light on the role of these
critical agencies in our society.
