Honoring the Voices Behind the Call: National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week

Print RSS Facebook Twitter RSS

April 12, 2026

Each year, during National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, we take time to recognize the dedicated professionals who serve as the critical link between the public and emergency responders—our 911 dispatchers.

The Hanover Township Fire Department proudly extends its sincere appreciation and gratitude to the men and women of Luzerne County Department of Emergency Services - 911Communications for their unwavering commitment to public safety.

Often referred to as the “first, first responders,” telecommunicators are the calm voice in moments of chaos. They are the ones who answer the call—day or night—providing lifesaving instructions, coordinating emergency response, and ensuring that help is sent quickly and efficiently. Their ability to remain composed under pressure while managing multiple incidents simultaneously is nothing short of remarkable.

Behind every emergency response is a telecommunicator who gathered critical information, dispatched the appropriate resources, and maintained communication throughout the incident. Their work is essential to the success and safety of every operation.

This week, we recognize not only their professionalism and skill, but also their dedication, resilience, and compassion. The role of a telecommunicator is demanding, often unseen, and always vital.

To all of the dispatchers at Luzerne County Department of Emergency Services - 911 Communications, thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your continued commitment to protecting our community.

Happy National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week!
