Summary
Commissioners presented a proclamation to Kimberly, a 9‑1‑1 training supervisor and crisis-intervention coordinator with more than 25 years' experience, who said the county's crisis intervention team helps people with mental-health needs and described her children's book.
The Board recognized Kimberly (telecommunicator of the year) and praised her 25-plus years of emergency communications and crisis work. The chair introduced Kimberly as a "9‑1‑1 training supervisor, State of New Jersey 9‑1‑1 crisis intervention team coordinator" with significant front-line experience; commissioners and the Linden police chief joined the presentation.
