Mediapro has trained Norfolk Constabulary's Force Control Room Inspectors, who are in charge of the region's emergency 999 calls.  Using historic Call and Dispatch incidents our reporters realistically
re-enacted fatal road traffic accidents and firearms incidents that would attract immediate national and local media attention.

The Inspector’s were interviewed and recorded by our trainers, who when working as reporters, frequently call the police when such incidents occur.  You will see from some of the feed back below that, although challenging, the Inspectors found the training to be very useful and constructive.

"The practical exercises were very good.  The trainers were very approachable and informed.   Previously there was a lot of stigma about talking to the press - but this has given me the confidence to speak to the media."

"A worthwhile course which should be extended to other departments and ranks who are required to deal with the media on a regular basis."

"Excellent presentation.  Very realistic attitude from the trainers who worked brilliantly together.  Very relaxed, very easy learning."

"Good practice to speak to the media in a training environment and having feedback from the instructors."

"Very useful course in dealing with the media.  Not too long.  Relevant and not too heavy.  Excellent."

"An enjoyable course which I believe can only improve the already good relations between the press and the police."

"Extremely useful training that should be cascaded to all ranks."

"The trainers were good with suggestions and constructive feedback.  This training should be an annual thing."

"This course has dispelled some worrying myths about the media.  I will now be more confident in my future dealings and look forward to a better exchange of information."
