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.

These ladies and gentlemen are doing a tremendous job, Cutler says.
