The First Line of Defense

Each year, the second full week of April is dedicated to the men and women who serve as Public Safety Telecommunicators.  These are the "first line of defense" individuals you speak with when you activate the 9-1-1 system or call our non-emergency lines needing assistance. 

This time each year, many state and local governments will take time out to honor their “behind-the-scenes heroes,” who are not as visible as the men and women who arrive at the scene of emergencies, but are just as critical to the safety and service provided to the community.

If you will, please help me celebrate these crucial individuals during this time for a job well done, day in and day out!
