Douglas County Commissioners Issue Proclamation for Public Safety Telecommunicators Week

 

 

            (Douglas County, Ore.) The Douglas County Board of Commissioners issued a proclamation today at the Weekly Business Meeting, calling upon all citizens of Douglas County to join us in honoring and thanking our 911 Communicators here at the Douglas County 911 Center, as well as our dispatchers that work for the City of Reedsport during Public Safety Telecommunicators Week,  April 11-17, 2021.   

 

            The proclamation was presented by Commissioner Chris Boice, on behalf of the Board and acknowledged that: “We know we can rely on the dedication and professionalism of our 911 communicators who answer 9-1-1 emergency calls for law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical services, and dispatch the appropriate assistance as quickly as possible.  Our dedicated 911 communicators are often the sole lifeline to police, fire, and medical response personnel in the field, and serve as a vital link between our residents and the public safety providers who save lives, protect property, and apprehend criminals.”

           

            The proclamation was presented to Tom Cross, Douglas County 911 Communications Manager, Heather Gray, Douglas County Communications Supervisor, Advanced and Melissa Briggs, Communications Officer, Intermediate, in recognition of the valuable and critical role our 911 telecommunications operators provide in helping to protect and serve the residents of Douglas County.  

 

            The Commissioners extended a sincere thank you for the devotion and critical support these employees provide, not just in an emergency, but every day – 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week, 365-days-a-year.
