This week is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week (NPSTW). It is a time to celebrate and thank those who serve in the public safety communications community for their dedication to creating a better and safer world.
The entire FirstNet organization extends our sincerest appreciation to all the dispatchers, telecommunicators, police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and other public safety personnel for the important work they do every day.
