SUMMARY:ILEA: The Executive Communicator
DESCRIPTION:Communication is at the heart of building relationships\, thus at the heart of good policing.  While Public Information Officers\, Communications Directors\, and such are often pigeon-holed to media relations and social media functions\, the insights and skill true strategic communicators bring to the executive are unique and valuable. \nOne of the biggest obstacles of the strategic communicator is developing the expertise and confidence necessary to work closely with chief executives.  This course will define the challenges facing police executives and how communication can support management in reaching their goals for a safe and secure community. \nThis course is designed specifically for experienced public information officers or executives with responsibility for internal and external communication. It explores the academia behind communications and crisis planning\, as well as thinking more purposefully about the overall brand and image of an agency. \nEach day\, students will take part in deep-dive discussions about the value of communications\, how to garner support for the position\, and how to better convey communication theory to executives to earn buy-in for communication programs and enhance the overall communications efforts of their agencies.

SUMMARY:FEMA E/L0388 Advanced Public Information Officer
DESCRIPTION:The National Response Framework (NRF) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS) devote significant attention to the importance of emergency public information. Public Information Officers are key members of the ICS and EOC organizations\, and work closely with officials who are part of Multiagency Coordination Groups. PIOs advise the Incident Commander\, Unified Command\, and EOC director on public information relating to incident management. \nWith public information included as a function within NIMS and within ICS\, it is critical to address and provide training for this important element of Emergency Management. \nThe National Disaster & Emergency Management University (NDEMU) Public Information Officer (PIO) training curriculum includes courses delivered at the awareness\, basic\, advanced and master levels. The basic level course was developed by NDEMU and is managed by NDEMU or state emergency management trainers who teach basic skills and techniques for use during small\, localized\, single-agency responses; preparedness campaigns; and escalating localized responses. \nThe advanced level course teaches participants additional skills for use during escalating incidents\, including strategic communications and incident action planning as it relates to Joint Information Center (JIC) operations.
