This week is the National Public Safety Telecommunications Week.
Once a year the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department celebrates and honors the entire telecommunications department. It includes the technicians that maintain radio and emergency phone systems, those that train communications staff and the supervisors and managers of communications centers across the country.
This week was established by Patricia Anderson of the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office in 1981 to raise awareness of the hard work and dedication of 9-1-1 calltakers, dispatchers and other telecommunications staff.
The work of telecommunicators is challenging in helping to protect the public. They are heard but never seen every day when members of the community call their local sheriff’s or police station seeking help.
These Dispatchers and 9-1-1 operators are the link between those in need and those that can help.
Please take a moment and say thank you if you happen to talk to a telecommunicator.
