The Purpose of the Craig Webb Memorial Award is to recognize emergency service providers who, by their actions, demonstrate: loyalty, professionalism, leadership, dedication, integrity, high quality patient care, and a tireless desire to improve the emergency service system within which they work.

Craig Webb demonstrated all of these qualities in abundance throughout his life of service. Craig Webb was a long-time paramedic who died suddenly around the holidays in 2004. He was a great man who constantly gave of his life to support and assist others. Craig Webb carried the mantels of EMS, Police, Fire, and Soldier with distinction. He also was instrumental as an Officer of the Dauphin County Council, Deputy Coroner, Dispatcher and an instructor for military personnel.

This award will be bestowed annually by the Commissioners upon the recommendation of the Dauphin County Emergency Medical Services Council in memory of and to honor this former Public Servant. He will be missed but never forgotten.

The Craig Webb Memorial Award is presented to three outstanding Dauphin County emergency service providers - one firefighter, one emergency medical person, and one law enforcement officer - who embody the spirit of the late Craig Webb. The recipients are nominated by their local Chief's Association and have much of which to be proud.

The names of the Webb Award winners have been added to a memorial plaque, which hangs at the County's Emergency Management Agency. The plaque is inscribed with the names of outstanding firefighters, emergency medical personnel and police officers in honor of Webb's lifetime of service.
