Ask and ye shall receive, faithful jammers.

Based on some welcome feedback from those who attended the February jam, we went out and got some more war stories from the field; some tales from those who toil in the trenches; people who could speak to the struggles of the lowly comms officer.

Oh, and a cop!

Want to know more? We thought you might:

• Community outreach is about a lot more than walking the beat for the police these days. Constable Nathan Hoedeman, the officer in charge of Ottawa's Somerset Community Police Centre, is not only using social tools to reach out to his community, he's also bringing in volunteers to help get the message out. Constable Hoedeman will share his story and give you a chance to help shape the future of his online outreach efforts.
  
• Notwithstanding the warnings REM's been giving us since back in the '80s (editor's note, I'm freakin' old), it seems not everyone in this country is prepared in case of the end of world. Or, you know, some far more realistic disaster. The folks at Public Safety Canada, clearly seeing that club-friendly pop-music wasn't getting the job done, took a more proactive approach and launched the Get Prepared campaign - complete with outreach to mommy bloggers. Theresa Woolridge and Jennifer Jager will tell us how they did it.
• Of course, it's not all sunshine and lollipops for public servants interested in introducing social media tactics and tools. Sometimes, communications ideals come head-to-head with a risk-averse culture and very legitimate concerns about privacy and discretion. Can the military embrace social media or will loose twits sink ships? Join National Defence media analyst Dan Blouin as he ponders this important (and cheekily-worded, if we may say so) question.

After being so warmly hosted by the good folks at the Lindenhof last time, we're bringing the Jam back to Preston's finest German food joint. Be sure to get there early enough in time to sample the schnitzel.
