You are the new Public Information Officer (PIO) assigned by the Chief
of Police. You work for a mid-sized metropolitan police agency that has
always relied on the utilization of a city information officer for any
media or public communication. Until now, your agency never had an
assigned public information officer specifically for the police
department. Your agency is growing and is expected to add an
additional 25 patrol officers in the next two years. These added officer
positions are in addition to a newly created Federal Task Force, where
two new detective positions were added. These positions will create a
larger budget for the police department and you have been informed that
taxpayers are not necessarily receptive to these costs. As the new PIO,
you are required to submit a written communication plan to the Chief of
Police detailing how you would draft public notification of the
departmental growth and change, reassignments of patrol areas, and
overall agency changes occurring in relation to these positions.
Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper that addresses the following:
 Describe the genre of communication you would use such as a paper
format, social media, public announcement, press release, or a televised
media conference.
 If increased social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, required for
the departmental growth.
 How far ahead of these positions being hired would you relay the
message?
 What do you do with citizens who communicate an opposition the
hiring of additional officer causing extra taxes?
 Who are your stakeholders in this public notice?

external communication on this issue?
