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.
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!
Sharing a little history I learned this morning.
In 1924, the Republicans nominated then President Calvin Coolidge.
Then in 1936, the Republicans nominated Alf Landon to run against Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

So third time RNC should be a breeze in hosting a large event like this one right?
RNC in t-minus five days…
Quite a honor to see this pop up in your notifications by the very well respected former City of Cleveland senior Councilman and now President of Global Cleveland Joe Cimperman.
BUT then you realize, it was a reply to this.
Bahaha. I can only laugh at myself…again.
Super proud to see our little 2015 Christmas project #CJSavesCLE get nominated for an Emmy!
Check out the Fox8 story here.
Cleveland Police, Cleveland FBI, A Special Wish Foundation, led the charge. But so many public safety agencies and officials that made this day possible.
I can’t thank them enough. All the planning was totally worth it.
CJ – still such a cool dude!

Many mahalos to my friend and fellow CPD Public Information Officer Sgt Jen Ciaccia.
It’s always a good day when Slider shares your Instagram pic from opening day take-2!
Now about this snow…
Happy #AlohaFriday peeps!
