Cumberland County E911 dispatcher Jennifer Hall will be recognized with the 2018 National 911 for Kids Hero Award in Nashville Monday Afternoon June 18.

Director Shoap said, “Jennifer is very deserving of this award. She has worked and devoted her personal time to further develop a program that has brought emergency communications to the forefront in our county. She has organized and led a team of dispatchers who have touched the lives of thousands of our Cumberland County school children as well as adults in our communities. We are all much safer today thanks to the hard work of Jennifer and her team of dispatchers.”
The 911 Cares program started in 1997 by the Cumberland Co. Fire Department and Hall took over the program in 2017 and worked to form a partnership with the E911 District Board of Directors and through her efforts the program was able to purchase a new Red E. Fox costume. Red E. Fox is the mascot of the 911 Cares program.
