King County radio emergency system gets new executive director
Hurd brings more than 20 years of mission-critical communications experience to the role overseeing technical, operational and administrative matters.
On April 7, the Kent-based Puget Sound Emergency Radio Network announced Jeremy Hurd as Executive Director, with his tenure beginning April 20.
The Puget Sound Emergency Radio Network supports 911 dispatching for more than 100 agencies across 39 cities in King County, with development costing $293 million from a voter-approved levy.
Hurd brings more than 20 years of experience directing mission-critical communication systems, having most recently led emergency response programs at the Marine Spill Response Corporation in Tacoma.
Mike Webb, who served as executive director since 2021, is being replaced; Webb guided the operator through its startup phase and the 2023 Go-Live.
The Board selected Hurd to oversee all technical, operational, and administrative matters for the system used by fire, law enforcement, and medical agencies across the county.
