SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) - The week of April 11-17 is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. Itâs a week to recognize our men and women who answer dispatch and 9-1-1 emergency calls.
Even though they are truly the first responders, they are often overlooked.
âWeâre the people that no one sees,â Caddo Sheriffâs Office Telecommunications Officer Audria Jones said. âThey see the deputies, but they never see us.â
