An improvement plan was developed, building relationships is at the heart of public relations, and it requires time and dedication to succeed. Relationships demand effort. Law enforcement agencies must communicate in a clear, precise, understandable, and accessible manner to be effective. The results demonstrated that, despite variations in the level of execution, Sariaya Municipal Police Station is carrying out a variety of public information efforts.
