Rye PD Officer Completes Training in PR & Community Engagement
The City of Rye Police Department announced Detective Christopher Salguero has completed training in regards to communication and community engagement “to enhance communication and foster better relationships between the police department, the public, and the media”. The department further stated “We are excited to continue enhancing communication and transparency with all community stakeholders.”
Rye PD Detective Christopher Salguero completed both the FBI-LEEDA Media & Public Relations Course (MPR) and the Master Public Information Officer (PIO) certification. FBI-LEEDA (Law Enforcement Executive Development Association) is a private, non-profit law enforcement continuing education provider and is not part of the Federal Bureau of Investigation or acting on its behalf.
Recently, Salguero completed the Master PIO course in Eagle, Colorado. The advanced four-and- a-half-day seminar is designed to elevate participants from tactical media skills to strategic media and brand management. Topics include refining brand image, developing internal and external communication strategies, and crisis management planning. Last October in Wayne, New Jersey he completed the MPR work, a four-and-a- half-day seminar is designed for public safety professionals who aim to build trust within the communities they serve.
In addition to his full-time duties as an investigator, Salguero, alongside Lieutenant Michael Anfuso and other assigned officers, manages the police department’s social media presence. The City of Rye Police Department said it “remains committed to providing the highest level of training to our team, ensuring we deliver the best possible service to our community”.
