About the Role
The Public Information & Media Coordinator serves as the critical bridge between the Alpharetta Police Department, the community, the media, and City leadership. This position leads the department's public-facing communications, digital media, branding, and public information efforts, ensuring that all external communications—whether proactive storytelling or critical incident response—collectively represent the official voice of the Chief of Police.
Working closely with the Division Captain, Chief of Police, command staff, and the City of Alpharetta's Communications & Engagement Manager, you will ensure that social media, public information, and media relations operate in perfect alignment. This role requires a deep understanding of Public Information Officer (PIO) responsibilities and best practices. You will consult on PIO matters and, when necessary, step into the PIO capacity to ensure the timely, accurate, and responsible dissemination of information that protects investigations, officer safety, and departmental operations.
As a strategic advisor to command staff, you will guide the use of digital platforms during routine operations, major initiatives, and critical incidents. Your work will involve drafting press releases, managing the department's online presence, and producing high-quality video and photography content that reflects the values and mission of the Alpharetta Police Department. You will also partner with recruitment functions to maximize exposure and support community relations initiatives by representing the department at public events and meetings.
