Police Department, where he headed a staff of eight which responded to an average of more than 150 media queries
daily, and had a wide range of responsibilities for both external and internal police department communications.
Mr. Carmichael served for seven years as the Chairman of the Metropolitan Washington Public Safety News media
Relations Council, which meets monthly to provide a forum for free and frank airing of differences and communication
between representatives of the news media and public safety agencies. In July 2003 Mr. Carmichael was elected
president of Virginia Government Communicators Association, a statewide association of more than 400 public
information professionals. Mr. Carmichael also served as a principal representative of the Virginia Association of Chiefs
of Police in negotiations over proposed revisions to the Virginia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regarding law
enforcement records in both 1989 and 1999 and was instrumental in the wording of those revisions, forging compromises
acceptable to the competing interests of both law enforcement and news media organizations.

media, he was designated by a citizens’ committee to be a recipient of Fairfax County’s Highest Employee Honor Award
in June 2000. Another notable accomplishment has been orchestrating local, national and international media coverage
which has resulted in the nation of El Salvador amending its constitution to permit extradition of fugitives who have fled
there after committing murders and other crimes in Fairfax County and elsewhere in the Unites States.
A native of San Francisco, with a degree in journalism from Penn State University, Mr. Carmichael has a background of
over 45 years in the communications field, including 15 years as a Broadcast News Reporter and Station Executive and
