 Hello, everyone. It's Bernice, your community outreach specialist for the Pasco Sheriff's Office, and I'm here today just to talk to you guys just About what's been going on while there wasn't a video that was uploaded on Friday or on Monday and just to Give you guys once again be behind the scenes So for a lot of you most of you out there, I Think you're kind of confused about what I do on a day-to-day basis So I do all of the video shooting the Content editing all of that for the agency and everything that we push out to the public Not like surveillance videos or anything. We don't touch any of that. No Bwc's there's no editing to those but anything that takes any editing. I Do all of that? So in addition to that I'm also I was half PIO Basically in a situation where we Rotate on call weeks So for those of you that don't know a PIO is the public information officer So PIOs at least for our agency. We handle all media inquiries. That's If they're listening to scanners and they hear something or if there's a call an interesting call something That's not interesting and they just have a question like is this suspicious like anything that the media can get their hands On to push out to the public They are reaching out to us to confirm or clarify or get the information they can or cannot, you know all of that goes through us so There's a couple of us in our office that Have like there's two of us myself and another individual she actually just started recently She'll be in a video soon She is the community engagement specialist on the community outreach specialist and our director that mainly handles like the PIO duties so She's just started yesterday. Her name is Amanda, but our director He actually he left a couple of weeks ago. He will be returning, but it was for whatever the reason, you know, maybe but I Was immediately thrown into a like full-time around-the-clock PIO rather and again, I'm still learning so I'm basically learning the job on the job Which is great and I'm a firm believer in anything that you fear you face head on And it's just more exposure and the ability for you to gain more knowledge and more confidence in what you do, but as a whole our job We never see the same things every day But of course in this you start to learn how to handle certain things, but I do have another boss Who is absolutely great. You've seen him in the background of certain videos. I think I've also pointed him out, but Sorry, so with that being said I was thrown into full-time on-call PIO Round-the-clock and Normally we rotate PIO weeks from 5 p.m. Friday to 5 p.m. Friday But during the day we're all in the office We can help each other out with certain things that are going on or if we get a little bogged down or if it's just too much We can ask for assistance, but like I'm the only one that's like overnight and again I'm still learning so I still have to contact my boss to be like, you know Just to clarify like how do we go about this? Who would I call for this? Because the media they call all the times of the day any day of the week anytime they hear anything They're calling and I could be called out to a scene so PIOs also if there's some sort of scene that's going on they go and Because we do press releases. We do the press conferences. We're the ones that organize all of that We push out these morning snapshots with certain things that the media could pick up We make it a little bit easier for them to get their own stories a lot any sort of media requests from like TV shows or radio stations or if they want to do like a Like a crime show that you know is a base off of a true story and like they have information But they got from like a sheriff's office. We do all of that I'm pulling the records and redacting everything sometimes very large large binders and numerous photos and videos I'm doing all of that and I'm not complaining. I just want to break down the wall to let you guys know Just more of what I do and how why There were two days that there weren't videos because I am Balancing and juggling quite a bit But we just want to be as honest as possible with you guys So that you know that there's a lot going on and I'm still learning and I have a great support So much support from my unit, but it's just This is what I'm doing and just because I was thrown into the on-call PIO Roll and it'll probably be another three and a half four weeks of that being all day every day That I'm still that's on top of everything else that I was already doing So it's just it's a lot. It's a lot for me to learn, but I'm also One day at a time one moment at a time, but I just wanted all of you to be aware of that So the next couple of weeks of videos may be a bit shorter I'm still gonna do the best that I can to continue on with you know at least about five videos a week With the exception of holidays and everything but They might not be as like elaborate like you know the SWAT trials or trainings or like you know other 10 to 15 minute videos that are like super like there's a lot of editing and everything and like the transitions Super short. So hopefully this once I finished with this and posted today. It was like a one-shot take, but Yeah, I just please you know keep following along with us and just know that the fancies man She videos will come soon, too But just I appreciate all of the support from you guys and girls and understanding.
