To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS a 1991 Congressional resolution named the second full week in April of every year, National
Telecommunicator Week; and
WHEREAS emergencies can occur at any time or any place and require the assistance of police, fire or
emergency medical services; and
WHEREAS 9-1-1 is the Hotline for Help for people in emergency situations, and the 9-1-1 call taker's voice
is the first assurance that help is on the way; and
WHEREAS 9-1-1 professionals regularly meet the challenges of extremely stressful situations with
calmness and efficiency; and
WHEREAS when an emergency occurs, the prompt response of police officers, firefighters and paramedics
is critical to the protection of life and preservation of property; and
WHEREAS the safety of these emergency responders is dependent upon the quality and accuracy of
information obtained from citizens who telephone the 9-1-1 communications center; and
WHEREAS Public Safety Dispatchers are the "heart of public safety," providing assistance before any other
emergency services arrive on scene; and
WHEREAS Public Safety Dispatchers are a vital link for our emergency responders by monitoring their
activities by radio, providing them information and insuring their safety; and
WHEREAS Public Safety Dispatchers contribute substantially to the apprehension of criminals,
suppression of fires and treatment of injuries and illnesses on a daily basis; and
WHEREAS each dispatcher has exhibited compassion, understanding and professionalism during the
performance of his or her daily job duties; and
WHEREAS the week of April 12-18, 2021, has been designated as National Public Safety
Telecommunicator Week in honor of the men and women whose diligence and professionalism keep our
citizens and emergency responders safe.
