The Hays County Commissioners Court began its April 13 meeting by adopting a proclamation recognizing April 11-17 as National Telecommunicators Week.
National Telecommunicators Week acknowledges the work emergency responders do to protect citizens across the county. The proclamation states each dispatcher has exhibited compassion, understanding, dedication and professionalism during the performance of their job in the past year.
Hays County Sheriff Gary Cutler provided remarks on the proclamation and says the work emergency telecommunicators do connects emergency response teams to assure callers that help is on the way. The dispatch center communicates at the Hays County Sheriff s department is basically, I would say, the backbone.when citizens are calling, they re the first ones they re going to be in contact with. These ladies and gentlemen are doing a tremendous job, Cutler says.
