This week is National Public Safety Telecommunications Week. Dispatchers are some of the most notable telecommunicators, and serve as the connection between the public and first responders. Nate Forst is a dispatcher at the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, and says their role is to help keep everyone safe, from those who call to the officers that respond to emergencies.
“We’re usually only heard, never seen in this line of work. That’s what we like to be, we like being that calm voice. We’re always here for the community, we’re always going to help you in any situation we can, no matter what it is. That’s what we’re here for. We want to keep everyone safe.”
