ICMA's Public Safety Program Excellence Award, established in memory of Philadelphia firefighter William H. Hansell, Sr., and his wife Alice, is awarded to a local government and its chief administrator for the most creative public safety program. In 2002, ICMA presented one of two of the awards in the greater-than-50,000 population category to the city of Macon, Georgia, and City Administrator Melvin L. Waldrop for its innovative door-to-door smoke detector program. Learn more about ICMA's Annual Awards program.
