Michigan State Police (MSP) Director Col. Kriste Kibbey Etue is pleased to announce that Ms. Brianna Briggs of the MSP Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division (EMHSD) is the 2015 recipient of the Floyd R. Bell Jr. Civilian of the Year Award. Briggs received the award at a special ceremony in Lansing on Thursday.
The MSP Civilian of the Year Award is named in honor of the late Floyd R. Bell Jr., a 42-year employee of the MSP, who continuously demonstrated commitment and dedication to the department and his community.
“Ms. Briggs’ distinguished leadership and dedication exemplify the department’s goal of providing service with a purpose, making her a natural choice for the Civilian of the Year Award,” said Etue.
Briggs serves as a departmental analyst with the EMHSD, where she is known for her dedication, positive attitude, mentorship and leadership skills.
Briggs served as the project manager for two of the division’s largest and most visible projects in 2015. She chaired the organizing committee for the Great Lakes Homeland Security Training Conference and Expo, which attracts more than 1,200 attendees each year.
She also spearheaded the state’s reaccreditation process under the Emergency Management Accreditation Program (EMAP). Michigan was in full compliance with all 64 standards during the first review, which is a testament to the outstanding leadership exhibited by Briggs.
Outside of work, Briggs regularly volunteers at her church and assists with her children’s school and sporting events.
Briggs started with the department in 2011 as an administrative assistant in the EMHSD and was later promoted to a departmental analyst.
Briggs earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan-Flint. A native of Mason, Briggs currently resides in Holt with her husband and two children.
