9-1-1 caller training is critical for all age groups. However, through the collaborative efforts of the San Jose Police Department, the California chapter of the National Emergency Numbers Association (CalNENA), the State of California 9-1-1 Program Office, the Texas State 9-1-1 Commission, corporate and individual donors, created an exciting “kid-tested and teacher approved” program and “edutainment” video developed by some of Hollywood’s finest children’s entertainment professionals. The 9-1-1 for Kids® Classroom Kit was developed to make learning how to use 9-1-1 fun and memorable. Through the lovable characters created by Emmy and Peabody award winning-master puppeteer Tony Urbano (the aliens in “Men in Black”, the Downey Snuggle Bear and the McDonald food puppets to name a few of his credits) and the catchy 9-1-1 for Kids® song by composer and record producer, Gary Powell (“The Little Mermaid”, “Aladdin”-original scores and “Lion King”- book and tape series) the 19 minute video- “The Great 9-1-1 Adventure,” continues to delight youngsters while teaching them the proper use of 9-1-1.
