Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE, said, “Emergency communications requires a special kind of dedication. When the rest of the world is off for the holiday or long weekend, emergency communications professionals are always working the front lines of 911, or working hard to implement the technology that makes emergency communications work, behind the scenes. The PSAPs’ Finest Awards is our way of paying tribute to these special individuals, who tirelessly strive to improve emergency communications and response, and are always there for citizens in their moments of need.”
The PSAPs’ Finest Awards program relies on a volunteer judging panel of representatives from the emergency communications industry. This year’s honorary judging panel includes: Karen Sutherland, RPL, Communications Manager, Scottsdale Police Department (Scottsdale, AZ); Timothy Buchfeller, Communications Supervisor/TLO, Riverside Sheriffs Dept.
