Texting, tweeting, websites and Facebook have made it easier than ever for fire and EMS responders to share information with each other and the public. All of these methods can be used to our benefit, however more often than not; they can get individuals and organizations in trouble as well. Organizations must take steps to understand how these forums can spread information and lead to concerns such as privacy and harassment issues. This fast paced, eye opening class will explore the modern trends in information sharing and your department’s need to address the issue before it causes major problems.
