Stay ahead of this! #SharkWeek

As we close out 2018 SharkWeek, the moral of the week is really to always be on the lookout for bad stuff in disasters.

Easy in peace time, disaster response is tougher than it seems esp when you have to stay ahead of mis-information or fake news. Your ability to operate ahead of the game and be the true voice of your agency will be critical in your success.

Let me say that again, your ability to be ahead of the game is critical to your success in an emergency or disaster.

How can you always remain ahead?

  • Read about current issues
  • Plan for situations within your AOR
  • Train like you fight.
  • Build relationships before the big one.

Keep it real my peeps….stay safe this weekend.

Always keep your wits about you!

Maintaining good situational awareness is critical for any professional. So to help illustrate this, I submit this Thursday gem.

I’d make some sharp joke about between two ferns…

I was out patrolling and arrested a street shark…you know, just some dorsal profiling…

No lie, he thought I was jawsome….

OK OK OK…I’m here all night!

Be safe my peeps and maintain good situational awareness!

It’s Wednesday – so on this fine hump day, I bring you this hump of a disaster…

…more like a movie that is a disaster. I can confirm, Sharknado isn’t real.

The possibility of a sharks flying around in a tornado are incredibly rare.

Don’t be a bozo.

And for the second disaster trick, this picture….

IT AIN’T REAL!!!

Don’t be a dingbat, stop sharing this fake picture during disasters and/or flooding.

Aaaaaand yes, an easy twofer here too: TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN!!!

Be a good steward of social media information.

Hello AlohaFriday!

Mic check! Sibilance. Sibilance. Check. Check.

As part of the ongoing P26 push…I thought this quick video about field mics might help out a few public safety colleagues.

Mainly designed for PIOs, PAOs, and External Affairs Officers….I think anyone could utilize these easy tips.

Reporting live from the 24-7 SEOC…

Another #PIO #PAO quick phrase to (possibly) use for later

Afternoon Law Enforcement leaders and LEO PIOs!

If you have employees, here’s another quick phrase you want to keep close.

“Law enforcement officers are peacekeepers whose core mission is to protect and safeguard the community.”

and

“It is our expectation is that employees do not engage in activities or associations that undermine or diminish our role as peacekeepers.”

Well done CCSO.
