9-1-1 Director Receives DOJ Training

Department of Justice training focused on resources to protect local children

Deschutes County Oregon -- 1/30/2012 --

Director Rob Poirier, Deschutes County 9-1-1 Service District, just returned from the prestigious Chief Executive Officer Training Seminar, held just outside the nation’s capital, at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) located in Alexandria, VA.  After receiving an invitation to attend the specifically designed training seminar for Law Enforcement and 9-1-1 Center Executives, Director Poirier attended the program on Sunday & Monday January 22-23, as a guest of NCMEC.

Director Poirier joined 50 other Chiefs, Sheriffs and 9-1-1 Directors who were also selected and invited to attend the 131st session of the CEO course, and Poirier is now one of more than 5,000 who have completed this training.

The Missing & Exploited Children Seminar for Chief Executives was designed to provide attendees like Director Poirier a better understanding of the issue of missing and sexually exploited children – and how to specifically deal with the situation of a child who’s been reported missing – when time is critical.

"This has been one of the most valuable experiences for me in my 19 years as a public safety official,” said Poirier.  “To have been selected in itself, was an honor, but to be able to bring this knowledge home and put it into practice, is a huge plus for the citizens of Deschutes County and our kids."
