How We Did It• Tact and sensitivity matter
• PIOs interviewed the DeMott family and captured ride-alongs• Basic DSLR camera, tripod, mic and light kit (< $1,000)• Video edited using Adobe Premiere
• About 15 hours went into video 1• On top of assigned patrol and other responsibilities
• In total, about 35 hours were spent developing 3 videos
• Tight budget meant no social boosting, but we leveraged the power of partnerships

Relationships Matter• Take the time to get to
know people• If we hadn’t invested the time to talk,
share videos before they were published, etc., perhaps the partnership would not have gone as far as it has
