📞 National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week 📞

This week, we proudly recognize and celebrate the incredible men and women behind the headset—our local 911 dispatchers. These dedicated professionals are the calm voice on the other end of the line during some of life’s most stressful and critical moments.

When a resident calls 911, a telecommunicator immediately answers, gathers vital information, and quickly determines the nature of the emergency. While providing reassurance and clear instructions to the caller, they are simultaneously dispatching police, fire, or medical responders—ensuring help is on the way without delay. Their ability to stay calm, focused, and compassionate can make all the difference in an emergency.

Our dispatchers work around the clock, often behind the scenes, but their impact is felt throughout our community every single day. They are truly the first first responders.

Join us in thanking our local dispatch team for their dedication, professionalism, and commitment to keeping our community safe. 💙🚓🚑🚒

Here in Breckenridge, we are especially grateful for our six telecommunications operators who work tirelessly 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They have handle over 20,000 calls for service since 2025, assisting citizens through phone calls and walk-in complaints with professionalism, compassion, and care.
