For Those Affected by Recent Hurricanes

Our thoughts are with those impacted by the recent hurricanes. In the wake of these storms, many are in urgent need of assistance. If you need support, APCO’s Sunshine Fund distributes critical financial support to members who are experiencing hardships. Get more information about how to apply for a Sunshine Fund grant.

We are always accepting donations to the Sunshine Fund to aid those impacted by life-altering events and disasters such as this one. Donate now at apcointl.org/sunshine.

 

I think the best part was just being around a huge group of folks in 9-1-1 that weren’t working. I have never had a chance to just sit and talk shop without being in my dispatch center.

This date of a notable action by Whitmire given of 2/23/2024 only comes to mind because it is the most recent date that Britt Whitmire worked overtime. That within itself may not sound special or unique.
