According to the webinar we viewed in our summer series, workplace violence
is the number one growing crisis that we as PR professionals need to be
prepared to address. Whether that mean's our own workplace or helping a
client address an incident at their workplace, we need to be prepared. Key
to that is having good interaction with any law enforcement officials who
are on scene.
At this month's meeting, FBI Special Agent in Charge Richard Lambert will
give us his perspective on how we as organizational spokespeople should be
interacting with law enforcement...some dos and don'ts. SAC Lambert took
charge of the Knoxville Field Office in June 2006. Prior to that
appointment, he was detailed to the Washington Field Office to oversee the
AMERITHRAX case, the FBI's investigation into the anthrax bio-terrorism
attacks which occurred in the fall of 2001. Earlier assignments included
managing the San Diego Field Office Foreign Counterintelligence and
Counterterrorism Programs, including oversight of the Joint Terrorism Task
Force and coordination of the field office's investigation of the terrorist
attacks of 9/11.
