Bellbrook recently recognized the lifesaving efforts of first responders after a Bellbrook resident was found unresponsive by a passerby who immediately called 9-1-1. The call was answered by Communications Operator Tara Melvin at the Xenia Greene Central Communications Center, who played a critical role in coordinating the response.

We’re proud to recognize her for this well-deserved award and grateful for the work she does every day to serve our community!
