He has lectured extensively about law enforcement’s use of social media and blogs for The Social Media Beat as part of the International Association of Chiefs of Police Center for Social Media. He has also lectured internationally providing Community Policing training for the Egyptian National Police and Social Media and Media Relations training for the Georgian National Police.
