City of Houston Police Department Chooses Baker Communications for Business Ethics and Media Training

The Police Department for the City of Houston, Texas (HPD) has selected Baker Communications to design and deliver Business Ethics and Media Training to key members of the department. HPD knows better than most how urgent it is to anticipate problems before they happen. They also recognize the value of handling difficult situations quickly and correctly the first time. In light of this, they were looking for a highly respected training partner who could create for them a unique workshop that combined training in both media relations and professional ethics. They did not have to look any further than their own backyard. Located in Houston, Texas, Baker Communications is intimately familiar with HPD’s exact situation, and they are easily accessible to work hand in hand with HPD staff to develop a cutting-edge course that will meet all their needs. After working with Baker specialists, it was clear that the resulting Business Ethics and Media Training workshop would empower HPD to effectively and professionally serve the people of Houston.

A Baker Communications Senior Level Instructor and Media Crisis Expert will begin coaching representatives of the Houston Police Department in Houston, Texas. Throughout the interactive workshop, attendees will learn to anticipate and avoid the most common media pitfalls, as well as how to quickly prepare effective statements to address a variety of crisis issues. This unique workshop also contains a professional ethics section that will guide participants through a set of targeted exercises to help them explore a variety of ethical challenges and confidently, consistently make wise choices.
