A new assistant city manager for public safety and human resources has been selected. Michael Speedling, who has served as interim assistant city manager for public safety and human resources since February, will oversee activities of the City's police, fire and human resources departments, as well as Guilford Metro 9-1-1. He will also continue to oversee the City's security division, which was his role prior to joining the city manager's office.

 

This is a new senior-level position created by the city manager in response to the priority of Greensboro City Council to address two of the City's most critical needs--- public safety and human resources. Speedling was selected for this position because of his extensive background in emergency services and preparedness, which spans more than three decades. Read more.

Guilford Metro 9-1-1 (GM 9-1-1) was recently awarded international accreditation as an Emergency Medical Dispatch Center of Excellence from the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch (IAED), a standard-setting organization that promotes safe and effective emergency dispatch services world-wide. This is the second accreditation GM 9-1-1 has received from IAED in less than four months; the first was for achieving the Emergency Fire Dispatch Center of Excellence accreditation.
