National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, April 9-13, 2023

National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, April 9-13, 2023, was created in 1981 by Patricia Anderson of the Contra costa county Sheriff’s Office in California, to celebrate and thank those who dedicate their lives to serving the public. In 1994 President William J. Clinton signed Presidential Proclamation 6667, declaring the second week of April as National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, NPSTW.

Telecommunicators, Dispatchers, 911 Operators, we answer to all of them. We are the voice on the phone, the first contact you reach out to for help. We hear your cries, your screams, your need for help. We are your lifeline, the first contact. We hear it all, yet we must remain calm to service your needs. We work as a team to provide the proper services. We must multitask, we must be able to answer the phones, dispatch the calls and remain calm during your crises. This is what we choose to do for you.

Thank a Telecommunicator for their service.

Seagoville Fire Department

The Fire Department hopes all of its citizens are kicking spring off by enjoying this nice weather before the heat ramps up for the summer. As the weather starts to get warmer we would like to remind citizens to stay hydrated, lack of hydration in hot weather will lead to heat exhaustion and eventually a heat stroke. It is also a good time of year to check your A/C units and smoke detectors. New working batteries in smoke detectors will do a lot to keep you and your family safe. We look forward to continuing to service our citizens with all of their needs, thank you for your support.
