Effectively communicating in a culturally relevant manner with various audiences is an essential component of community policing. To that end, a multidimensional, multicultural approach to strategic communications is imperative.

As agencies work to build bridges, create partnerships, and engage in meaningful dialogue, a written strategic communications plan (SCP) provides clear, consistent direction for communications, messaging, and media opportunities across a variety of platforms and channels, allowing agencies to reach various multicultural audiences inside (and outside) jurisdictional boundaries.
