Training Center Ribbon-Cutting and Open House, May 30
DEC will celebrate the opening of its new Training Center, 4-6 p.m., Thursday, May 30. The event will include an official ribbon-cutting by Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney, building tours, light refreshments and a commemorative booklet for invited guests. Staff are needed to help with greeting guests, giving tours and serving refreshments.
The RPD Lip Sync Challenge video that was shot last summer with DEC staff is in the running to be featured on a CBS-TV special. We need your vote to make it happen!
DEC was awarded a grant to increase use of the
PulsePoint app in Richmond. If you are CPR-trained, you can download the free app to be notified when someone nearby has a sudden cardiac arrest. If you are not CPR-trained, you can use the app to register locations of AEDs. Take a screenshot of the app on your phone and
send it to Karen by June 4 to be entered in a random drawing for a gym bag or folding camp chair. Also, DEC and RFD will set up a PulsePoint booth at the June 7 Friday Cheers event, 3:30-10 p.m.
National Telecommunicators Week, April 14-20, 2019
