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.”
Nick Holloway, the Public Information Officer for the Missoula County COVID 19 Vaccination Team, was the featured guest on KGVO’s monthly City Talk segment of Talk Back.

Man sues police over Facebook comments
Missoula, MT (The Missoulian) AGallatin County man is suing the Missoula Police Department for hiding his comments on the department’s Facebook page.
In a complaint filed on Jan. 29, Seth Kucharski alleged the Missoula Police Department violated his rights to free speech and equal protection when it hid and removed comments criticizing the department and its officers.
Missoula Police Chief Jaeson White received the complaint on Jan. 4, but the City of Missoula has not yet responded to it. City of Missoula Communications Director Ginny Merriam said the city could not discuss ongoing litigation.
The lawsuit was originally filed in Missoula District Court, but was moved to U.S. District Court because it deals with alleged violations of Kucharski’s First and Fourteenth amendment rights, according to court documents.
