Thank You to Our 911 Dispatchers

by Kelly M. Glenn and Todd A. Rodes

Telecommunicators, more commonly known as 911 Dispatchers, are the FIRST first responders. They often address a crisis or meet a need before a law enforcement officer ever makes face-to-face contact with a caller, and many times, they end their shift without knowing the outcome of someone’s emergency. We thank these amazing men and women who play such a critical role in the criminal justice system!
