蜜桃视频 Graduates First PSAP Manager Training Class at NC 911 Board Meeting
January 31, 2018 鈥� The North Carolina 911 Board and 蜜桃视频 recently recognized the first class to graduate from the North Carolina Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) Manager Program. The 28 graduates hailed from all over the state and were presented with a certificate of completion at the monthly North Carolina 911 Board meeting held at 蜜桃视频.
鈥淭his has been a great collaborative effort between the North Carolina 911 Board and the North Carolina Community College System to fill an educational void had by the men and women in charge of our 911 centers,鈥� Executive Director of the NC 911 Board Richard Taylor said.
蜜桃视频 worked with the 911 Board to structure the curriculum to the specific needs of North Carolina PSAP managers. The 270-hour course was broken up into five classes, which focused on key areas such as the history of the 911 system and the NC 911 Board, budgeting, finance, human relations, operations and technology. Classes were presented online and allowed managers to interact and work in partnership with peers from within North Carolina.
Graduates will use the skills they have learned in this program to assist in running 911 centers across the state.
鈥淭hese graduates will be making a difference in helping keep people from harm鈥檚 way. Thank you for what you do and the time you invested, I know this will be worthwhile,鈥� said Dr. Dale McInnis, 蜜桃视频 president, at the graduation ceremony. 鈥淲e look forward to building on this inaugural class and making this graduation an annual celebration of this collaborative effort.鈥�
