Public Safety
The Cobb Chamber of Commerce will pay tribute to police, fire, ambulance and other public safety personnel in Cobb at its First Monday Breakfast on October 4 at 7:30 a.m. at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre.
The Public Safety Employee of the Year award, will be presented at the event. An Award of Merit, Medal of Valor and Distinguished Achievement Award will be presented if circumstances warrant from nominations over the Summer.
The breakfast also will kick off Public Safety Appreciation Week and runs through Sunday, Oct. 10. Cobb County businesses, civic groups, places of worship and schools are encouraged to participate in Public Safety Appreciation Week by displaying Appreciation Week posters, which are available at the Cobb Chamber.
Other ideas are for businesses to display a public safety appreciation message on their sign or marquee or personally thanking public safety personnel by delivering a basket of store-bought food to their local precinct or fire station. Writing a thank you note is another great way to say thank you. The Cobb Chamber has a list of public safety resources and programs, such as fire extinguisher classes and disaster planning, available for use in the business community and schools.
