Functions

Fremont is committed to informing the community and members of the news media of events that are handled by, or involve, the Department. The Public Information Officer (PIO) Desk consists of server members from the Department and serve as a liaison between the Fremont Police Department, the news media, and the public.

Media Relations

Public information and positive media relations are an integral part of the operation of any public service agency and Fremont PD is no exception. Most community members have little contact with law enforcement and their opinions of the police are often formed by our Department’s portrayal in the media. The release of public information and maintenance of good media relations is a crucial element of Fremont PD's mission. The media has a legitimate function in our society and the public trust of the police can be enhanced through media relations.

In coordination with the Department's Public Affairs and Community Engagement Unit, the PIO/Media Relations Desk posts press releases and other newsworthy items on social media.
