Today's podcast is brought to you by... Mark Economou is the Public Information Officer of the Boca Raton Police Department which is situated on the Atlantic Coast of the great state of Florida. Made famous by Seinfeld, Mark is quick to point out that it's not just all old people eating at 4pm and living in retirement villages...Boca is much more than that and is one of the fastest growing parts of Florida. Mark is a transplant from the New England area and is a die-hard Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics and Patriots fan who is still trying to find ways to defend Tom Brady!!! The Boca Police Department is one of the original law enforcement social media agencies and even after 6 years in the social space, they are still keeping ahead of the curve through innovation and the use of new technology as it emerges. Led by Chief Dan Alexander, the Boca Police have embraced community engagement and outreach particularly through the use of video, building campaigns around the "Kindergarten Cops".
