Recommended Action

Recognize and express appreciation during National Public Safety Telecommunications Week.

Executive Summary

During the week of April 11-17, National Public Safety Telecommunications Week is the time when people from all over the public safety field and beyond, express appreciation for the people who make telecommunications work. The week was started by Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) member, Patricia Anderson in 1981 in Contra Costa, California, and has grown into a national celebration. In 1991, the second, full week of April was proclaimed National Public Safety Telecommunications Week by Congress. 

When a resident of our community has a problem, the first person they speak with is one of our Telecommunicators. Many times, they serve as a life line; many more times as a source of comfort.  We are very proud of these dedicated employees.
