Public And Media Relations (POLC 4004)
In this course, students examine the role of the media in modern society and the historical and contemporary relationship that exists between police and the media. Students identify and examine issues and theories related to appropriate conduct of media & public relations for police forces. Successes and failures with regard to media relations, from the point of view of police forces in Canada, are examined and students are challenged to devise recommendations as to how these situations at a corporate level and in a community policing or specialist area should have been handled. In addition, students propose the development of a media strategy to support an operational plan that addresses a localized crime or strategic policing issue.
