Democracy Divided: CommunicatiDemocracy Divided: Communications Lessons from the Insurrection at the US Capitol
January 6th, 2021… An unprecedented day in American history. Do you remember where you were, or what you were doing? Did you wonder about the agency communicators responding to this crisis and what they were experiencing? We are fortunate to have a TAMIO member who lived this experience first-hand and has agreed to share his observations of the day’s events.
Dustin Sternbeck, Chief Communications Officer for the City of Denton, served on the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) Executive Staff as their Chief Communications Officer during the events of January 6th. Dustin will walk through the timeline of events on January 6th from the MPD Emergency Operations Center point of view, what his team observed, and how they responded. His unique perspective on law enforcement and communications teams working together to manage and mitigate a crisis of unprecedented scale will provide attendees with valuable insight and practical takeaways that apply to everyone involved in emergency communications.
