Résumé
"In 2009, the Ottawa Police Service collaborated with Rogers Community TV to produce a documentary type show called On Patrol. While offering an educational ride-along perspective to the viewer, the show also acts as a convenient platform for showcasing a community-oriented organization interested in establishing good public relations. The aim of this study is to assess whether the police-public interactions in the episodes studied conform to a two-way symmetrical public relations model and if so, how effectively."--Page 3.
