The Vicksburg Police Department announced a “Media Management for First Responders” session and directed interested parties to contact Instructor Therese Apel for more information, the department said in a Facebook post.
The department did not provide additional details in the post. Media management training typically covers topics such as interacting with reporters, managing social media and public information, protecting victim and scene privacy, and coordinating communications during emergencies. Departments and agencies say that such training can help first responders convey accurate information, maintain public trust and reduce the likelihood of misunderstandings during incidents.
As of the latest check, the original Facebook post is not available. Facebook displays a notice that content can become unavailable if it was shared with a small audience, the poster changed visibility settings or the post was deleted.
Those seeking further information are asked to contact Instructor Therese Apel, according to the department. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
