It is with pride that Florida APCO wishes to congratulate the Orange County Sheriff’s Office Communications Division for receiving the prestigious award for “Outstanding 911 Call Center/Program”. In addition to this, special recognitions are also in order for being presented with a “Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition” which reads: “In recognition of your overall excellence in serving the public, including the handling of emergency situations reported to 9-1-1 and the deployment and management of new technology”. To add even more significance to both of these awards, they occurred during the 50th Anniversary of 9-1-1 Celebration.
