Proclamation
National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week
April 11-17, 2021
Whereas emergencies can occur at any time that require police, fire or emergency medical
services; and,
Whereas when an emergency occurs the prompt response of law enforcement officers,
firefighters and emergency medical personnel is critical to the protection of life and preservation
of property; and,
Whereas the safety of our law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency medical
personnel is dependent upon the quality and accuracy of information obtained from residents who
telephone the Macecom emergency communications center; and,
Whereas Public Safety Telecommunicators are the first and most critical contact our residents
have with emergency services; and,
Whereas Public Safety Telecommunicators are the single vital link for our law enforcement
officers and firefighters by monitoring their activities by radio, providing them information and
ensuring their safety; and,
Whereas Public Safety Telecommunicators of Macecom have contributed substantially to the
apprehension of criminals, suppression of fires and treatment of patients, and,
Whereas each dispatcher has exhibited compassion, understanding and professionalism during
the performance of their job in the past year, especially under difficult circumstances,
Therefore Be It Resolved that the Board of County Commissioners declares the week of April 11
through 17, 2021, to be National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week in Mason County in
honor of the dispatchers whose diligence and professionalism keep our community and residents
safe.
