The week concludes with honoring the public safety telecommunicators during National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.

“We recognize public safety telecommunicators’ hard work, service and commitment every second week of April since Presidential Proclamation 6667 was signed in 1994,” Jackson County Sheriff Rick Meyer said. “We thank and honor the personnel who serve our communities and citizens nationwide 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”
