Brent Weisberg is the communications administrative director for the Salt Lake City Police Department. Weisberg joined the department in July 2021 after spending three years as the communications director for the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office in Portland, Oregon. Prior to his time overseeing strategic communications for the district attorney’s office and Salt Lake City Police, Weisberg spent 10 years as a television reporter in Portland where he primarily covered breaking news and filed reports covering the criminal justice system in Portland throughout Oregon. In his current role, Weisberg, as a senior staff member to the Chief, manages a team of public information officers and professional staff who provide timely responses to media and other community members. He is also responsible for overseeing and coordinating the department’s internal and external communications and community-relations strategy. Weisberg has a heavy emphasis on crisis communications and enjoys working with his team to identify creative and strategic ways to show case the work of the Salt Lake City Police Department. In 2021, the Portland Police Bureau awarded Weisberg, and several other key public information officers, with the department’s “Achievement Medal” for his communications work during the 2020 riots in Portland, Oregon. Weisberg graduated from Washington State University.
