About the 911 Honor Awards

The 911 Honor Awards is an annual event to honor 911 heroes and leaders. The Co-Chairs of the Congressional Next Gen 911 Caucus (Representatives Torres, Representative Cammack, Senator Klobuchar, and Senator Budd) and other Members of Congress and federal government officials will join 911 leaders from across the country. This year, the Institute Honor Awards were divided by two events this spring. Four of the awardees were honored at the 911 Honor Luncheon in February. The remaining two will be honored at the 9-1-1 Impact Awards in April.

“The hundreds of millions of people in need who reach out to 911 every year rely on the dedication and cooperation of our public safety professionals, government leaders, and industry technology partners for help,” said Wes Wright, NG9-1-1 Institute Executive Director. “The Board of Directors of the Institute is honored to be able to recognize and celebrate a few of the extraordinary individuals who have assisted those in need and put the safety and security of their fellow citizens above all else.”
