“This is a once in a lifetime career opportunity,” Hubbs said. “Hamilton County’s 911 Center is highly regarded within the industry as one of the best. Its dispatchers are second to none. It will be a true honor to work alongside folks who are just as passionate about helping people as I am.”
Having dedicated his life to law enforcement, Hubbs has worked as a 911 dispatcher, an Indiana State Trooper, a commander for the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, and a United States Secret Service agent. Originally from the south side of Indianapolis, Hubbs graduated with degrees in Criminal Justice and Spanish from the University of Indianapolis.
“Public Safety is a top priority in Hamilton County, so we did a national search to fill this position,” County Commissioner Christine Altman said. “Turns out the best candidate was in our backyard. Mr. Hubbs’ extensive law enforcement background and depth of experience have earned him the respect and support of Hamilton County Public Safety leadership, our Dispatch team, and makes him the perfect person to lead us through the building of a new 911 center.”
Hubbs replaces Jeff Schemmer, who accepted a job in May as Executive Director at the Indiana Statewide 9-1-1 Board. Hubbs’ first day with the county will be Monday, Sept. 19.
