Governor Abbott Proclaims Public Safety Telecommunications Week

Each year, a special week in April is set aside to recognize the unsung heroes of public safety—the dispatchers, 9-1-1 operators, and communications specialists who serve as the first line of response in emergencies. These professionals work behind the scenes, providing calm, critical assistance to those in crisis and coordinating life-saving efforts with first responders.

Governor Greg Abbott has officially proclaimed April 13–19, 2025, as Public Safety Telecommunicators Week in Texas. In his proclamation, he commends the more than 4,000 telecommunicators across the state for their dedication, professionalism, and compassion. Their work ensures help is just a call away.

Let’s take this opportunity to show appreciation for their service and honor their vital role in keeping our communities safe.
