Cherokee County E-911 is the Communications Center of the Year.

Canton, Cherokee County, Ga. September 15, 2009 – Cherokee County E-911 has been chosen to receive the award of Communications Center of the Year from the Georgia Emergency Communications Conference.

This award is achieved by letters of recommendation submitted by individuals that can represent outside agencies from the law enforcement, fire departments and other 911 communication centers. This achievement is the result of an improved approach on the dedication for excellence and commitment to the work ethic at Cherokee County E-911.

Leadership, Training and Recognition has been the motivation for Director Collett since taking office in December of 2008, and Communications Center of the Year for the entire state of Georgia is proof that many positive changes have taken place since. It has been the goal for Cherokee County E-911 to be one of the major leaders in the world of Public Safety Communications, providing the highest level of professionalism and the best service possible to the citizens of Cherokee County.

We are proud to be acknowledged on a statewide level and this distinction will hopefully be the first of many more successes to come.
