The true first responders are the telecommunicators that answer your 9-1-1 calls. The first voice you hear, when you need help, whether it is a loved one that is injured or critically ill on a holiday, a fire alarm or intruder in the wee hours of the morning, or an automobile accident on the way to work, they are there to gather pertinent information and dispatch the police, fire/rescue or medical help and even provide instructions to manage the situation until help arrives. We often say thank you to the responders on the scene. This week we take time to thank the true first responders.
At the Board of County Commissioners meeting on April 10, 2007, Commissioner Jess R. Santamaria presented a proclamation declaring the week of April 8 - 14, 2007 as “Public Safety Telecommunicators Week” in Palm Beach County. Pictured above (l to r): Commissioner Jess R.
