This year, from April 14th to 20th, we at Barry County Central Dispatch honor our Emergency Communications Officers and will join other 911 dispatch centers in celebrating National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.
National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, celebrated every year for the second full week of April, is a time to show our appreciation for those who are dedicated to serving the public in their role as the first first responder: answering emergency calls and dispatching life-saving aid to those emergencies.
Here at Barry Central, we invite you to join us in thanking both our ECOs here and telecommunicators everywhere for the outstanding work they do to keep people safe and make Barry County and the world a better place.
We are looking for some highly motivated individuals to join our team.
