Salisbury, NC: Rowan County Emergency Services 911 Division Chief Phil York released a statement that the telecommunications center has been awarded the 2023 Communications Center of the year from the North Carolina Chapter of the National Emergency Number Association (NENA).

"It is with great pride in my staff that I share...that our 911 Division was selected by the North Carolina Chapter of NENA as the 2023 Communications Center of the year. This award is not for me or our administrators, but for our staff, who work each day to provide the best services possible, to our field partners, and our citizens," York shared in a statement to the 911 staff.  "Words cannot express how proud I am in each and every one of you," he continued.  He gave special recognition to Chief Gregory for completing the application process for the award.

Division Chief York, Chief Cress, and Captain Burleson will bring this award home from the NC Public Safety Communications Conference, held April 30 through May 3, 2023. 

Congratulations to the 911 Center on this amazing accomplishment, as this couldn’t have happened at a better time of year. This week is National Telecommunicators Week, a time to celebrate 911 dispatchers across the country for the difficult jobs they perform day-in and day-out.
