SUMMARY:RPIE /Strategic Planning Training
DESCRIPTION:Public-sector communicators are often expected to move quickly\, respond to competing requests\, and deliver tactics on tight timelines. In that environment\, planning is frequently compressed or skipped altogether\, making communication decisions harder to explain\, defend\, and evaluate. \nThis in-depth\, in-person CAPIO regional workshop focuses exclusively on the RPIE framework\, Research\, Planning\, Implementation\, and Evaluation\, a nationally recognized planning model and the gold standard used in the Accreditation in Public Relations (APR) process. Rather than treating RPIE as a template or academic exercise\, this session emphasizes how the framework functions as a practical decision-making tool for real-world public-sector communications.

SUMMARY:Trustworthy: Navigating an Increasingly AI-Driven World for Police\, Fire and Government Public Information Officers
DESCRIPTION:Trustworthy: Navigating an Increasingly AI-Driven World for Police\, Fire and Government Public Information Officers is a practical course designed for public information officers\, public affairs professionals\, and agency leaders navigating an AI-influenced communications landscape. \n\nArtificial intelligence is no longer just a productivity tool. It now plays a direct role in shaping narratives\, influencing public opinion\, and accelerating the spread of misinformation. Throughout this course\, a detailed description of how Artificial Intelligence can be used to commit crimes\, target officers\, or the entire agency. Real-world case studies will be discussed and explored. This course explains how AI systems shape message framing\, audience perception\, and trust\, often without the public realizing it. \nParticipants will learn that AI-driven manipulation is already influencing how incidents are perceived. The speed matters more than sophistication. Even poorly made content can spread fast enough to shape public opinion before facts are established \nParticipants will examine real-world examples of AI-driven narrative control\, discuss the risks of unmanaged AI use\, and explore how public agencies can set clear policies that balance innovation with transparency. The course also addresses when and how agencies should disclose AI use\, and how proactive communication can strengthen credibility rather than erode it. \nThrough guided discussion and scenario-based exercises\, attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of AI’s influence on modern communications\, along with practical steps they can apply immediately within their organization.
