National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week
April 13-19, 2025
Whereas, emergencies can occur at any time that require law enforcement, fire or emergency medical services; and,
Whereas, when an emergency occurs the prompt response of law enforcement, firefighters and paramedics and EMTs is critical to the protection of life and preservation of property; and,
Whereas, the safety of our law enforcement officers, paramedics and EMTs and firefighters is dependent upon the quality and accuracy of information obtained from citizens who telephone the Sherman County 911 communications center; and,
Whereas, Public Safety Telecommunicators are the first and most critical contact our citizens have with emergency services; and,
Whereas, Public Safety Telecommunicators of the Sherman County 911 Communications Center have contributed substantially to the apprehension of criminals, suppression of fires and treatment of patients; and,
Therefore, be it resolved that the City of Goodland Commission declares the week of April 13-19, 2025 to be National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week in the City of Goodland, in honor of the men and women whose diligence and professionalism keep our city and citizens safe.
Signed this 7th day of April, 2025
