National Dispatchers Week

National Dispatchers Week

They are the “heroes behind the scenes” when emergencies occur. Public safety dispatchers provide a critical service to all emergency personnel while performing their duties with integrity, quality, accountability and respect. Calltakers are the first people “on the scene” of every crime, fire and medical emergency.

To honor the dispatchers during National Telecommunicator Week April 8-14. RealSlogans.com has lowered the prices on RealDispatchers.com Gifts.

Each year, the second full week of April is dedicated to the men and women who serve as public safety telecommunicators. Telecommunicator Week was first conceived by Patricia Anderson of the Contra Costa County (Calif.) Sheriff's Office in 1981. Members of the Virginia and North Carolina chapters of the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) became involved in the mid-1980s. By the early 1990s, the national APCO organization convinced Congress of the need to create "National Public Safety Telecommunicator Week."

  1. 911 Dispatchers save lives every day. Dispatchers are the backbone of public safety. Dispatchers answer calls for help and lead people through life’s most difficult moments.

    Dispatchers don’t drive around in overpriced fire engines or get cats out of trees. Dispatchers don’t end up on the 5 o’clock news.
    Dispatchers don’t use the public’s money to make them selves look better.
    Dispatchers do their jobs without the hero status every day and night.

    If you ever get the opportunity, thank a 911 dispatcher.
    You will be talking to a Real Hero.

    For all of the 911 Dispatchers we have created a line of Real Dispatcher gifts and clothing. Show your appreciation with RealDispatchers.com Gear.
