Judy Pal

Judy Pal has had a long and rewarding career. It’s one that has seen her hold the title of community relations coordinator for the Edmonton Oilers, television anchor for Global Television, chief of staff for numerous police organizations, and director of operations for the FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Association (LEEDA).

After beginning her career in sports, journalism and entertainment, Pal was able to take the communications experience gained from these industries and apply it to her first love, law enforcement, accepting a role with the Halifax Regional Police in Nova Scotia before moving to the U.S.

After a short stint with the City of Irvine in California, Pal joined police departments in Georgia, managing public relations in Atlanta and then Savannah. From there, she received the chief of staff role in Milwaukee and Baltimore before serving as director of operations for FBI-LEEDA. In this role, Pal developed and managed leadership course curriculum and became a public speaker in the field of communications for public safety. She finished her full-time career as an assistant commissioner with the New York City Police Department (NYPD).

With a wealth of knowledge and experience in communications, public relations, law enforcement and entertainment, today Pal conducts media training, communications counsel, and virtual training across North America as a consultant to ensure information officers and leaders in policing know how to better communicate within their organizations and the communities they serve.
