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 2005, ICMA presented the award in the 10,000-to-49,999 population category to the city of Tarpon Springs, Florida, and City Manager Ellen S. Posivach, for the Model Emergency Management Program. The program is designed to provide efficient and effective emergency operations with nationally-recognized facilities and a quality employee/family shelter system.
