911 Center Recognized for Child Protection Efforts

The Lincoln Emergency Communications Center has been recognized by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) as an NCMEC 911 Call Center Partner. To become a partner, the Center completed training and adopted best practices to be ready to respond to a call reporting a missing, abducted or exploited child. The Center was recognized earlier this month at the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials Conference in Philadelphia.

NCMEC officials said the Lincoln Emergency Communications Center is one of a growing list of professional 911 agencies who have demonstrated a commitment to improving the standard of care for children in across the country. More information on NCMEC is available at www.missingkids.com.
