Episode 9
Communicating in Crisis - Part Deux [E009]
In the previous episode Craig told the story of a serious encounter while on his regular evening ruck. Telling a story that is still being ‘experienced’ is a challenging matter!
Common advice for communicators is to be cautious about speaking on things you are still going through - it can be difficult while facets of an event are still being processed.
This episode serves as a consolidation of further takeaways after some decompressing.
Further conversations over the weeks since the event revealed new and sometimes startling details. It turns out the suspect in the case had pulled a knife on three park workers and had also been accused of threatening another individual at park facilities nearby.
Note: Craig’s takeaways from this event are based on his perspectives and from trusted counsel. If you have feedback or analysis for our listeners regarding this event and are trained in law-enforcement, security or related fields - please reach out via email to speakup@craigoneill.net. Your input would be appreciated for anyone who feels compelled to speak up- but wants to be safe!
Three separate local news stations interviewed Craig in the wake of the event.
The suspect is still at large despite being known to police and possibly having been stopped by police before they secured evidence of a crime being committed.
