It's Not Too Late to Thank a Public Safety Telecommunicator

Carroll County Board of Commissioners Chairman Bill Chappell recognizes public safety telecommunicators at the Carroll County E-911 Center with a proclamation declaring April 10-16 'National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.'

It's National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week in Carroll County, a time when we should all take a moment to recognize all the hard work that goes into keeping our 911 system running smoothly and efficiently. These professionals make us all safer and have contributed substantially to the apprehension of criminals, suppression of fires and the timely treatment of patients experiencing medical emergencies.
