April 12-16 is National Public Safety Telecommunications Week, a time to recognize and honor the dispatchers who act as a liaison between the public and emergency services during times of need.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association, public safety telecommunicators receive 240 million 911 calls each year. No matter the circumstances, each call requires dispatchers to remain composed as they coordinate with first responders to ensure the community’s safety.
