School Presentations
The Red E. Fox
program is available to all schools in Cass County.
This program contains a video that instructs children
how and when to dial 9-1-1 on a four to seven year old
level. The children also practice dialing
9-1-1 on a special phone that simulates a dial tone which
teaches the children how to use the phone to dial 9-1-1,
when to dial, and what to expect when 9-1-1 is called.
At the end of the presentation, the children are
presented with a special bag of goodies that help reinforce
the lesson from Red E. Fox.
This program is available to any children’s group and can be
altered for younger or older children. To
arrange a presentation, call Marie Athearn, Cass County 9-1-1
Director at 816-887-1952.
Civic Organization
The 9-1-1 Department is available for
speaking engagements at civic organizations and neighborhood
watch groups. Presentations would cover
important tips about 9-1-1 and the Emergency notification
system CodeRED that is available in Cass County.
