Social Media and Digital Imagery Webinar

Have you ever taken a picture with your cell phone while on duty?  Do you ever use social media platforms to post items about your job or opinions about your employer or co-workers?  Do you ever use social media platforms to post your opinions about current issues or about other people?

Firefighters across the country continue to find themselves in trouble for misuse of social media and/or digital imagery.

In this short one hour recorded webinar, Saginaw L-102 member and attorney Sara Cottington-Heath will tackle both of these timely issues.
