For me I saw an environment rich with a homecoming event that brought people closer. I would love to be a part of this continued tradition. - Gary Fraser, Assistant Director Special Services, OESD114I am most excited for the collaboration with the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office and the creation of the Project SAFER Response Form. It is such a brilliant idea to give the option to families to create a profile of the disabled individual so first responders are able to pull up their information and understand how to respond and communicate with them immediately. - Jen Mackey, Special Education Teacher, Sequim High SchoolWhat an incredible event. Bringing a community together to this magnitude was amazing. Giving the community a chance to interact with the county stake holders, county providers and first responders lend great learning moments for all of us. Very well done to all involved. - Steven Hughes, Regional Manager Morningside Visit the Project SAFER Facebook Page.If you have questions, contact Clallam County Health and Human Services:Chelsea ReynoldsAdministrative SpecialistClallam County Health & Human Services111 E 3rd Street, Port Angeles, WA [email protected] Office: 360-417-2303 Loading Source: https://www.clallamcountywa.gov/ProjectSAFER
