Justice Information Sharing

Due to the complexity of prosecuting sexual violence, a startlingly low number of cases ever make it to court let alone result in conviction. This disappointing reality can be self-perpetuating—victims do not bring charges, and law enforcement and prosecution do not pursue cases, especially if they do not seem winnable.

Join the Justice Clearinghouse for their upcoming webinar “Using Social Media for Recruiting: Targeted Messaging in Law Enforcement” on October 1, 2020 at 1:00–2:00 p.m. ET. This webinar will focus on helping law enforcement agencies create a social media strategy to define their public image and recruit qualified potential employees. 

Webinar – Using Social Media for Recruiting: Targeted Messaging in Law Enforcement

Throughout the nation, law enforcement organizations use a variety of strategies to recruit qualified applicants. Despite these efforts, many organizations struggle to fill vacancies. This issue may, in part, relate to reliance on outdated recruiting methods. Social media has transformed the way in which organizations in other fields market to customers and potential employees alike. While some law enforcement organizations use social media, few organizations leverage research to develop tailored social media marketing strategies.

In August 2020, the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) released the report “How Local Police Can Combat the Global Problem of Human Trafficking: Collaboration, Training, Support for Victims, and Technology Are Keys to Success.” The report was developed from PERF’s Critical Issues in Policing conference held on August 5, 2019, where approximately 200 individuals from diverse backgrounds in anti-trafficking participated in dynamic discussions on the issue.
