PIO Survey

Public Information Officer Survey

Hello, and thank you for agreeing to take the following six-question survey, which will help Project Lifesaver International agents within your department to better understand the path to effective public- and media-relations. Your answers will come directly to me, and I will merge the survey results into the media-relations presentation that I'm tailoring for law-enforcement agents attending the upcoming PLI annual conference the week of August 28, 2017.

Sincerely,
Nora Firestone
