You have been assigned by the chief of police to create and implement a strategic communication plan to respond to the community following a high-profile use of force event by an officer with your department. While the use of force appears to have been legally justified and within department policy, there is still a great deal of negative reaction from the public.

  • Determine the main goals and objectives of your proposed communication plan.
  • Predict the target group of your communication plan.
  • Propose the general communication strategies of your proposed plan. 
    • Provide a rationale for your response.
  • Develop the first four main steps of your local police department's strategic communication plan.
