Law Enforcement Business Cards
When interviewing witnesses, checking out a crime scene, or offering your services to citizens, you should have law enforcement business cards on hand so you can be reached at a later date. Besides creating a formal, “official” role in the mind of whoever is receiving your card, they have a way to reach out to you if they have more information or remember something important later. So consider these tips when you put together your cards.
Keep it simple
Your contact information, title, and name are the key pieces of information needed on your card. Standard contact information is an official phone number (avoid personal cell phones), an email address, and an office location. Avoid social media or non-official websites as these can cause confusion. Give them the basics.
Need more? Use the back!
You can always use the back of your law enforcement business cards if you need to provide details. For example, you may have a specialty that requires examples for clarity’s sake or you may need to list a brief curriculum vitae. Use the back of the card for this extra information. Plenty of room is available and the cost is minimal.
Use a logo or seal
It is critical that you use your agency or organizational seal or logo. This helps establish exactly what office you are with and helps people know they are getting in touch with the right person. This may be the most important piece of non-contact information on your card. Making the connection visually is critical and a seal or logo makes that connection for you.
