My unique career path spans from an Emmy & Edward R. Murrow Award-winning Washington, DC television news reporter to the world of law enforcement media relations where I served two large suburban DC departments as a lead spokesperson and communications strategist. I began training police public information officers across the country in 2012, became a regular guest lecturer at the FBI National Academy, served as Senior Media Advisor for the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and now focus full time (and then some) on Julie Parker Communications, a woman-owned boutique firm formed in 2014 focused on guiding organizations on how to manage their message with the media and on social media during times of calm and chaos.
