Specialized course about recources available to Cherokee County E 9-1-1 teaches valuable tactics in protecting and saving children.
[Canton, Georgia, April 27, 2012] Mrs. Priscilla Bridges, Assistant Director of Cherokee County E 9-1-1, just returned from the prestigious Chief Executive Officer Training Seminar, held just outside of the nation's capital, at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) located in Alexandria, VA.
After receiving an invitation to attend the specifically designed training seminar for Law Enforcement and 9-1-1 Emergency Center managers, Mrs. Bridges attended the program on Sunday and Monday, April 22-23, as a guest of NCMEC.
Mrs. Bridges joined 49 other Chiefs, Sheriffs, and 9-1-1 Emergency Managers who were also selected and invited, to attend the 134th session of the CEO course. And, Mrs. Bridges is now one of more than 5,000 who have completed this training.
The Missing & Exploited Children Seminar for Chief Executives was designed to provide attendees like Mrs. Bridges a better understanding of the issues of missing and sexually exploited children- and how to specifically deal with the situation of a child who's been reported missing- when time is critical.
"This has been one of the most valuable experiences for me in my 16 years as a 9-1-1 Communications employee," said Mrs. Bridges.
"To have been selected in itself, was an honor, but to be able to bring this knowledge home and put it into practice, is a plus cor the citizens of Cherokee County."
Created in 1997 and funded by the United States Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency (OJJDP), the CEO training discusses the needed steps in implementing best practices for call takers, responding officers, investigators, and Command Staff.
Once candidates are selected to attend, all travel and lodging expenses during training are covered by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children through a grant by OJJDP.
