Three supervisors from Lawrence County E-911—Adam Dickson, Will Smith, and Wayne Putman—successfully completed the NENA Supervisors Course in Raleigh, North Carolina, in February 2026. This four-day training program focused on equipping participants with essential tools and techniques for effective emergency response management.
Led by Nancy Lockhart, a recognized expert in the field, the course emphasized a core belief in emergency services: that learning is a continuous process. This perspective is vital, as the field of emergency management is constantly evolving, necessitating that professionals stay updated on the latest practices and technologies.
Completing this course demonstrates a commitment to enhancing the skills and knowledge of the supervisors, ultimately benefiting the entire Lawrence County community. By participating in this training, Dickson, Smith, and Putman are now better prepared to handle emergencies and lead their teams effectively.
The announcement of their successful course completion did not include specific details about contact information, future training requirements, or associated fees. However, it underscored the importance of ongoing education and training in emergency services.
As these supervisors return to their roles, they will bring back valuable insights and strategies that can enhance emergency response efforts in Lawrence County. The skills acquired during the NENA Supervisors Course are expected to positively impact the overall effectiveness of E-911 services in the area, ensuring they are well-prepared to respond to emergencies as they arise.
