After well over a decade with both the Arkansas Dept. of Correction, and Drew County Sheriff’s Dept. auxiliary unit, Drew County’s new 911 Co-ordinator / Emergency Services Manager has experience with handling “unexpected incidents”.

However, on his first day on his new job, the log truck wreck (shutting down Monticello second busiest intersection) shows “you never know what will happen, and when it will happen.

Michael Frisby, a longtime Drew County resident,  spent most of the day in training meetings, until he received a call about the accident.

Some of the duties of the position include managing inter-agency co-operation during and in preparation for emergencies, county-wide addressing issues, and communications, among other activities, such as chemical and/or fuel spills.
