Gov. Brown Proclaims April 10-16 Public Safety Telecommunicators Week
Monday, April 11, 2016
"9-1-1 call takers are communicators that are professionally-trained in order to meet the demands of such highly critical work. Each year the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials and other public safety organizations consisting of nearly 10,000 people from the United States and Canada set aside the second week in April to acknowledge and appreciate telecommunicators and their crucial role in the protection of life and property," said Oregon Office of Emergency 9-1-1 section manager Mark Tennyson.
The 9-1-1 program in Oregon was established in 1981 by the Oregon Legislature. The program is responsible for the continual coordination and management of the network necessary for the delivery of 9-1-1 calls and associated information, the equipment used by the tele communicators to process those calls, as well as assisting local government with the challenges faced in the participation in the statewide 9-1-1 emergency communications system.
