George Fosque, Director
 

  

George re-joined the city in 1994 to plan and create the Emergency Communications Department. By 1996 the department had constructed and opened a consolidated 911 and emergency communications center that combined city police dispatch and fire alarm function and personnel.

Since joining the department he has become an active member of the Massachusetts 911 community and the local emergency planning community. He has participated in many of the Cambridge-coordinated emergency planning events, as members of Cambridge Public Safety and other concerned agencies practice and prepare for emergency incident. George also helped to coordinate the Cambridge Democratic National Convention response as well as create our local Emergency Operations Center. 

George regularly conducts training around the state and participates in organizations that coordinate activities among Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs).

He is Vice President of the Massachusetts Communications Supervisors Association (MCSA) as well as Vice President of the Massachusetts chapter of the National Emergency Number Association (NENA). He is active in the 911 Subcommittee of the Massachusetts Major City (Police) Chiefs group. He sits on the State of Massachusetts Interop Coordinating Committee representing PSAP and dispatcher interests and he is a member of the Communications Committee of the Metro Boston Homeland Security Area. He is a member of various other groups including the Association of Public-Safety Communication Officials (APCO).

Mr Fosque has a BA in English from Trinity College and an MBA in Public Management from Boston University.
