The Chattahoochee River 911 Authority (ChatComm) appointed Major Dan Nable of the Sandy Springs Police Department as the organization’s executive director during a meeting on July 31.
Nable replaces Sandy Springs Fire Department Section Chief for EMS Patrick Flaherty.
“I would like to acknowledge and express my personal gratitude to Patrick Flaherty for his tireless dedication, serving as our executive director for almost the last two years, while also serving his primary role as Section Chief, EMS for the Sandy Springs Fire Department,” Sandy Springs City Manager Eden Freeman, Sandy Springs ChatComm board member, said.
Flaherty worked with ChatComm’s outsource partner ISP to incorporate cutting-edge technology, ensure a timely response and provide ongoing training to the organization’s personnel to create a safer environment for the community, she said.

“Danny is one of the originals with the Sandy Springs Police Department having served previously with the Fulton County Police Department before joining SFPD as one of our first group of officers,” Freeman said.
