Busy Media Relations unit needs diverse skills

Strong computer, public relations, and organizational skills are sought by the Media Relations Unit. If you would enjoy interfacing with police and press personnel, and collecting, recording and disseminating new information, you would enjoy this position as a Media Relations Administrative Assistant volunteer, supporting our Public Information Officers in their daily duties. This very busy office needs you to maintain an electronic unit calendar of special events, news conferences, and deadlines; record news footage relating to high profile and other cases; obtain copies of police reports from our Records division; and additional related duties.

Desired Skills: Strong computer skills (including the ability to enter data in a Microsoft Access database, and maintain an electronic unit calendar); ability to become trained in the operation of television/video recording equipment; professional demeanor and customer services skills, including the ability to establish effective working relationships with a variety of police personnel and the media; accuracy and attention to detail; and the ability to maintain strict confidentiality.

Hours Needed:  Volunteer help is needed to cover as many hours as possible between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday; you may choose from these hours that would work best with your personal schedule.
