About the Larry Lindsey Award
The Larry Lindsey Award was established to recognize those who strive for greater service to the public as an emergency telecommunicator.  The award acknowledges exemplary professional conduct, ability, and overall contribution to the field of telecommunications.

The award is in honor and memory of Larry Lindsey, who was instrumental in the creation of the Mississippi Board of Emergency Telecommunications Standards & Training, the regulatory agency that certifies all emergency telecommunicators in the state and governs their training and continuing education.  Lindsey served as the first APCO representative on the board of BETST, helping define the high standards that make Mississippi telecommunicators some of the best in the nation.
