2016 World Series Game-2 field work for PIOs #GoTribe #RallyTogether
Doing some Public Information Officer (PIO) stuff during the 2016 World Series was fun.
Like in any deployment, don’t forget to sign in, or else Jobu will chase you down!
Jobu says sign in on the ICS-211 form #GoTribe #MajorLeague
Stadium was packed!
2016 World Series game-2: Chicago Cubs vs Cleveland Indians
Don’t think it’s all glamour, PIOs spend gobs of time crafting specific messages tailored to each situation.
PIOs in the midst of discussing the use of gifs.
In the end, ESF-15 and all PIOs/PAOs are there to support all of our partners in public safety.
ESF-15 in the hizzouse!
Looking forward to game-3 in Chicago.

Filming for the new CNBC show Cleveland Hustles
Cleveland hustles indeed.
Lots of cameras and peeps here. Good thing I wore my Aloha Shirt #AlohaFriday
LeBron showcasing Cleveland for the new CNBC show called Cleveland Hustles.
PIO Tip: Frame your shot and reduce your onscene variables
I was finishing up my AARs and found a picture from the last night of the Republican National Convention (RNC).
Quick tip for you PIOs doing field reporting: Frame your shot.
Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams doing an interview with Time Magazine. Obvious chalked roadway with profane statement behind him. Videographer is recording at an upward angle to frame his subject.
During the RNC, we found that it was critical to frame the shot. Onscene shots were particularly tough because so many activist groups had signs, chalked, or painted words that are inappropriate for pictures or even worse yet, uncontrolled live broadcast hits (Periscope or FacebookLive or YouTubeLive).
Additionally, live outdoor broadcasts from the scene are challenging because it is difficult to control the natural and man-made variables.
So as PIOs we need to reduce any signs, ropes, wires, etc….that could affect your framed shot.
Trust me, reduce the amount of variables to a bare minimum.
Focus your energy in delivering your message. #PIO
PIO-ing Cleveland’s Public Square during #PrideInTheCLE #ClevelandPride
Yesterday, I supported Cleveland Police on the #PrideInTheCLE #ClevelandPride event in Public Square.
Much different from the Republican National Convention.
Lots of families out and about (and enjoying) the new cool fountain in downtown Cleveland.
Everyone was having a great time.
Lots of speculation and talk about public safety not being around to support the LGBT community – all totally false. Public Safety will be there to support any community.
Trust me, lots of public safety was on hand to support our entire community.
Cleveland Police Bomb Squad and K9 teams…
Cleveland EMS…
..even the Cleveland Police bike patrol was out supporting the day’s events.
Lots of areas to cover.
Partnerships with the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department and Cleveland Police Department are key in providing safety for everyone who attended the event.
It was a relatively hot day so I am glad that many of the participants dressed appropriately for the event.
Some not so much.
Fun entertainment and friendly people staying cool out in Public Square.
While waiting around, we had some time for a quick PIO selfie…
Also had time for a few interviews with local media.
Also happy to run into a long time good friend Mark Zinni who is the anchor for the Channel 3 Eyewitness News in Hartford, Connecticut. Great to see him again.
Thanks for the picture Zinni!
Can’t wait to see him again in Cleveland.
While out there, we even made a few new peeps into Junior Police Officers.
Thanks Ken!
We were fortunate enough to do a few live interviews on Periscope from Public Square.
We highlighted the event and gave a status report of the operations using Periscope.
Ever wonder what it’s like to hang with onscene PIOs? Here’s a behind the scenes shot of us doing some live interviews on Periscope.
Thanks for the action shot Zinni!
Trust me, it’s harder than it looks.
Overall, it was great to see so many people out on a Saturday afternoon in Cleveland.
As always, I had a great time working the PIO magic with Jen!
We make a pretty good team huh?
Hope everyone stayed dry while the rain hit.
Great safe event everyone!
Have a great weekend!
This week’s PIO magic from #RNCINFO #RNC2016 #RNCinCLE #GOPConvention
This week doing PIO stuff with Cleveland Police Sgt Ciaccia.
You know…just working all the PIO magic tricks!
Protest after protest after protest
Lots of different groups demonstrated in Public Square today.
Too many to count.
Everyone wanted to be heard/seen.
After things got rowdy, Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) worked closely together to keep the peace. disbursing hundreds upon hundreds of protesters is not an easy task.
I can’t tell you how proud I am of all the ESF-13 resources that are deployed from across this great country to support our event.
Dispelling rumors. Thanks Reuters.
Day-2 in the Joint Information Center starts out with…dispelling rumors!
Reuters reported that a Cleveland Police Transport van was shot near the Republican National Convention utilizing the #RNCinCLE.
#booya Reuters.
Immediate engagement using (retweeting) incorrect info.
Then JIC emailed out information to all media on media lists.
Also because of time and deluge of phone calls, the onslaught of emails, and the avalanche on social media…
Being nimble on multiple social media platforms, immediate dispelling of rumor in a public forum, and use of all associative hashtags was deliberate and purposeful.
Solid JIC work today PIO peeps!
Almost midnight view of Cleveland Public Square
Doctoring images to incite fear = not cool #SMEM #PIO #RNCINFO #Safety-SM-16-004
Lots of BSery going on.
@TKDMike pushed this image out on 07-16-16 at 1902 EST trying to portray that Cleveland is burning dumpsters tonight for the 2016 Republican National Convention.
Orig tweet w/ image found here
That image looked weird to me.
So let’s look a little closer shall we?
A simple online search found this exact image used multiple times.
Once as a meme for protesters in the UK
Made into a UK Meme
Yep. That’s weird.
Then the same image, slightly better quality found on imgur from 10 months ago.
From imgur
Again, double weird.
Then I found the original.
On flickr by Brian Neumann (2011)
Game-7 from the Stanley Cup in 2011. Appropriate photo credit to Brian Neumann.
In the initial @tkdmike post from 07-16-16, he has embellished the image and added the Quicken Loans Arena logo and an RNC2016 logo to the dumpster. Additionally, behind the gal on the right is also a photoshopped sign for Trump2016. **Clearly against the orig photo by Brian CA Neumann on 06-16-2011 on Flickr. The sign should not read “Trump 2016”, it should read “Sunrise Kitchens” – also note the hockey jersey.
Doctoring images to push political agenda or incite fear = not cool.
Canada image from 2011 –> fake it to be a Cleveland image in 2016 = not cool.
It’s going to be a long NSSE.

Where is @rusnivek?
