It’s that
time again to acknowledge your favorite public safety dispatchers!!
The second
week in April we have a weeklong celebration for National Public Safety
Telecommunications where we recognize the often thankless job of being a
dispatcher in emergency services. We are
the voice behind the radio that ensure our police, fire, and emergency medical
men and women make it home safely to their family after each shift.
With this
job come long hours, time away from your own friends and family, rotating work
shifts, and an abundance of overtime. It
takes a special kind of person to be willing to put up with the demands of the
job before your needs.
I’ve been
dispatching for 10 years now and while not all of those years have been
sunshine and roses, I have built a different kind of family here among my
fellow coworkers.
If you know
somebody who dispatches for emergency services, tell them “thank you” or better
yet give them a hug.
