June 23 2022 - 2:00PM
Verizon Frontline will formally introduce the newest member of the
Verizon First Responder Advisory Council (VFRAC) at next
week’s 2022 National Sheriffs’ Association annual conference.
Sheriff Susan Benton (Ret.), who joins the council as its 14th
member, was the first female sheriff elected in a general election
in the history of the state of Florida and brings more than 35
years of law enforcement experience to her new role.
Most recently, Benton served as the Sheriff of Highlands County,
Fla., from 2005-2017. She was also the first woman elected as the
president of the Florida Sheriffs Association in the organization’s
115-year history. Benton was inducted into the Florida Women’s Hall
of Fame in 2013. She is a Miami
native.
"I am honored to join the distinguished public safety leaders
who comprise the Verizon First Responder Advisory Council," said
Benton. "As a member of the VFRAC I will be working with the
Verizon Frontline team to help ensure that Sheriffs organizations
across the country have the best communication and technology
solutions available to help them serve their communities."
The VFRAC advises Verizon on various aspects of its work with
public safety agencies including strategy, product development and
public policy initiatives, helping to ensure the services and
solutions developed for public safety meet the needs of first
responders.
Verizon Frontline is the advanced network and technology built
for first responders – developed over nearly three decades of
partnership with public safety officials and agencies on the front
lines – to meet their unique and evolving needs.
