Recommendations need clarification.
The information that would go to the media would be different than the one going out to the public.
Crisis communication strategy for various scenarios.
Group 2:
Didn't talk specifics.Talked more about the crisis communication strategy.Group talked about
existing infrastructure and building off it. A two-way relationship with community members to get
the message out. An online presence is also necessary.
Transparency is the most important. Prepare for the next incident.
Group 3:
Discussion about tools already available.Would like to see further inventory of tools/team to find
deficiencies. Has anything changed since the Officer Involved Shooting?
Summary:
Transparency.
More info on existing systems. Role it played in the Officer Involved Shooting.
The lack of identified community partners continues to be an issue. At the City of Tacoma, they had

TTSD could be a partner in communicating significant events to the community.
Online presence is increasingly important. It needs to be evaluated as well.

wouldn't want the Board to feel rushed. I also understand the time commitment people have made.
