National Telecommunicators Week Apr 12, 2021 at 06:30 am by WGNS (MURFREESBORO) April 11-17, 2021 is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. Rutherford County Sheriffs Office Chief Deputy Keith Lowery said, "Join me in thanking our often unseen, and under appreciated, heroes who serve as the first to respond to the call for help." Our emergency 911 communications professionals are, in many cases, the conduit to provide a lifeline to those in dire need of responders. They are the epitome of multitaskers and can bring calm to chaos. Lowery concluded, "A mere Thank You will never be enough to convey how incredibly valuable you are, and how much we appreciate the important job that you all do.
