What Everyone is Saying...

Excellent course. Well worth your time. Training covers all you would want to know about social media for public safety and more. Instructors are knowledgeable and create a relaxed training environment and welcome networking.

Nikki Heuer

I had a great time and the training was very thorough. As a officer working at a PD, finding this kind of training can be tough, but PSMA really delivered and the trip was worth it. The instructors were very knowledgeable and everyone that taught had some kind of specialty, and this really helped everyone get one on one training with every platform on social media.

Tyler Lawrentz

Definitely one of the best social media classes I’ve ever attended! Learned so much more in this class than I have at other public information officer classes about social media and how to reach your followers.

Jessa Ashton

The class was fun and we’ll be using some of the skills and techniques at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy! I’d recommend to any public safety agency that has an online presence.

Wayne Julian

Such a great class. Great instructors. Never a dull moment and very interactive. This is for anyone to take, it can benefit anyone who uses social media in a process capacity.

Rachel Clark

A great experience! Instructors were knowledgeable and very willing to help with any issue I had on my different platforms. They were fun and engaging!
