City & County PIO Collaboration Models

In local government, agencies don’t operate in silos. Police, fire, EMS, public health, transportation, and utilities often share the same communities — and the same challenges. Yet when it comes to communication, too many still act like they’re working alone.

Collaboration between city and county PIOs isn’t just nice to have; it’s essential. Residents don’t care which department owns a message. They care about whether the information is timely, accurate, and consistent.
