As we close out Telecommunicator Week in Cumberland County we just want to express once more our sincere appreciation for the men and women staffing our 9-1-1 center. They do a job most people would not want to do, and provide a service that is often taken for granted. They are here day in and day out, holidays, weekends and nights not excluded. They diligently answer a call for help and experience the joys of hearing a new born baby crying for the first time and the lows of a listening as a person takes their final breath before help can arrive. They are rarely thanked and often deal with yelling, frantic and sadly sometimes short tempered callers. This job is not for the faint at heart.
We hope you will remember these 9-1-1 dispatchers, not just during Telecommunicator Week, but every week. Every time you see a fire truck responding through your town, a police officer drive by or an ambulance heading to a hospital, take a second to think about the dispatcher that sent them. Think of that dispatcher that answered a call for help during someone’s darkest moment and the dispatcher that made sure that help was on the way.
We at DPS witness the good these individuals do on a daily basis and can assure you that if you ever have to dial 9-1-1 you are in good hands!
THANK YOU CUMBERLAND COUNTY 9-1-1 DISPATCHERS TODAY, TOMORROW AND ALWAYS!
