10-8 Communications specializes in media, internal and external communications for law enforcement, fire and other public safety agencies. Strategic counsel and customized training are available for small and large groups at your facility, saving time and the cost of sending officers and staff to a remote location. It also ensures your organizational SOPs will be used in training, as opposed to generalized direction offered by most standard training packages.

The first 24 hours of a crisis are crucial - what you say, and how you communicate during that time could be the deciding factor as to whether or not your organization survives. People form their opinions of organizations and others based on the first few seconds of input they receive - whether it be from direct contact or an indirect source - in many cases, the media. Whether you want to be the headline or not, how your agency handles the media can make or break your reputation in your community. A public safety agency is only as good as its weakest link. Internal strife can cause severe morale issues, which inevitably leads to a decline in public satisfaction.
