9-1-1 Professional of the Day 2011
As part of our 9-1-1 Education Month / National Public Safety Telecommunications Week activities, Ware County wants to recognize the dedication and outstanding efforts of the individuals who make the 9-1-1 system work every day. By putting a few faces to the numbers, we hope that the public will gain an increased understanding and appreciation of 9-1-1 – a service most people take for granted.
