How 10-4 Creative Helps Law Enforcement Look Their Best Online
Police departments wear a lot of hats — and “graphic designer” usually isn’t one of them. But in today’s world, a department’s social media presence is as much a part of public safety as a press release or a community meeting. Clear, consistent, professional posts build trust and keep people informed.
I’ve spent years working in communications — both in law enforcement and in the private sector. I know what it takes to keep up with constant deadlines, manage a brand, and still have time to do the actual work you were hired to do. That’s where 10-4 Creative steps in — so you can get back to policing, not picking fonts.
Time: Let Officers Do Officer Work
Every minute an officer or admin spends fiddling with Canva or searching for the “right” badge image is a minute they’re not doing the work they were actually hired for. I’ve been there — the clock is ticking, an event is coming up, and you’re digging through old files trying to find something that looks halfway decent or “borrow” from another department.
With 10-4 Creative, you get ready-to-use graphics for holidays, events, safety tips, and announcements — all customized to your department’s brand. No starting from scratch, no reinventing the wheel, and no wondering if it’s the right size for Facebook vs. Instagram. You drop it in, post it, and move on. (Or better yet, we schedule it for you!)
Money: Get More for Less
Hiring a full-time graphic designer (or even a part-time one) is expensive. Having sworn staff spend hours on graphics instead of engaging with the community, patrolling, or investigating? Even more costly.
10-4 Creative gives you a year’s worth of professional content for a fraction of that cost. It’s predictable, budget-friendly, and doesn’t involve overtime hours or shifting people off critical work.
Headaches: No More Last-Minute Scrambles
If you’ve ever realized at 9 PM that you forgot tomorrow is a national awareness day… you know the pain. Last-minute posts often lead to sloppy design, inconsistent branding, or just skipping it altogether.
With a content library and templates ready to go, you’ll have professional, on-brand posts waiting for you. That means no more pixelated logos, mismatched colors, or “Oh, that’s today?!” moments.
Why This Works
I’ve spent years working in communications — both in law enforcement and in the private sector. I know the pace, the pressure, and the public expectations that come with police work, and I also understand design, branding, and how to create content that connects.
10-4 Creative blends both worlds: the professionalism and polish of agency-level design with the practical, real-world experience of what works in policing. The result? Fast, affordable, professional content tailored for your department.
Bottom Line:
Your community gets timely, professional posts that reflect well on your department. You get hours back in your week, a cleaner public image, and one less thing on your plate.
If you’re ready to make your social media one of the easiest parts of your job, let’s talk.
