Police Public Information Officer Travis Welsh on ‘City Talk’
Once a month, City of Missoula Communications Director Ginny Merriam brings a guest to the ‘City Talk’ edition of Talk Back, and on Friday the guest was Missoula Police Department Public Information Officer Travis Welsh.
Welsh, who has been the official spokesman for the police department for the last eight years, said he has developed an excellent relationship with local media in Missoula.
“I have been fortunate to have and continue to have some great relationships with people in the local news industry,” said Welsh. “Our local news sources have been great to work with, of late. That's not always been the case. We have had a bit of a tumultuous past, but I like to think that through the efforts that we've made in this last decade that we have closed a lot of gaps and we have created a lot of new relationships and have improved our communication with our city, and our residents.”
