Judy Pal was a spokesperson for Halifax Police in the late 90's and early 2000's. Her career took her to the United States where she worked as an Assistant Commissioner with the NYPD, Director of Operations for FBI-LEEDA, Chief of Staff with the Baltimore and Milwaukee Police Departments, and was a member of the command staff of the Atlanta and Savannah Police Departments. She is a full time teacher and consultant on Law Enforcement image and media training with 10-8 Communications. 10-8 is a police code for being in service/available for assignment. She has been following the events in Nova Scotia surrounding the mass casualty event from April 2020 and the inquiry from her home in Tennessee. And while she doesn't have all the details, she does say the RCMP isn't the only organization that has challenges with communications. She says part of the issue is that the officers and civilians tasked with informing the public, are sometimes not given all of the information, which can cause issues of trust between police and the public. And she says when you mess up, fess up and then the healing can start.
