The City of Decatur send out this media alert late yesterday…
City of Decatur 911 Call Center superstar Jeremy Pickett is a finalist for the 4th Annual Smart Telecommunicator Awards (presented by Smart911). He is the only person from Georgia to be selected as a finalist for the 2015 Smart Telecommunicator of the year – and you can help him win by voting for Jeremy!
More about Jeremy from his nominator:
Every single firefighter and police officer is relieved and excited when Jeremy is the voice we hear. He always remembers to periodically check on us, repeats traffic back to show he understood, speaks clearly and at a good rate. He gives the emergency crews the needed information before he is asked. He uses our Smart911 system so we don’t bust doors, but find a key. He helps us to respond accordingly to autistic children. He gets us information when the patient is unconscious. In my entire career, he is the best we have ever had and over 100 emergency personnel will back this nomination.

Jeremy is the best! Voting is quick and easy, and he deserves the recognition for all the work he does for the people who live in, work in and visit Decatur!
I have a soft spot for 911 operators. My dad started his career as one in 1974. I love that they have a recognition program for these men and women who are vital to saving lives.
Go Jeremy!!!
