Summary
This report is one in a series of three documents created by the
Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), with support from the
U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs’ Bureau of
Justice Assistance (BJA), on the law enforcement response to public health
emergencies. This report identifies the considerations that law enforcement
executives should address in their public health communications
plans, regarding internal communications (those that remain within the
law enforcement agency) as well as external communications (those that
go to other agencies or the public).
