Public Information Officer Chris Miller
Public Information Officer Chris M. Miller has been certified by the NSA to educate the public on forming active NW programs and how they will benefit their areas. Several communities have already set up effective NW programs to include the towns of Kelly, Crofton, Lacy, and Pembroke. Our goal is to have an active, working NW program in each of our communities in Christian County, to help ensure the safety of all of our Christian County families.
