Today kicks off National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. I want to convey my appreciation to the dedicated professionals across America who answer our 911 calls and provide life-saving assistance each and every day. They are the often-unsung heroes of #publicsafety. #NPSTW

TAKE ACTION NOW. @APCOIntl has launched an advocacy campaign for the #911SAVES Act, a bill that would reclassify 9-1-1 Professionals as Protective Service Occupations. To send a letter to your US Reps seeking support, go to: apcointl.org/government-rela…

Thank you to the 911 dispatcher who managed this call, the Fire Rescue team who responded, and to Michael Bochniarz for sharing his story. Honored to have played a part in this rescue. #ClearinghouseSuccessStories @PinellasEM abcactionnews.com/news/regio…

New technology helps Pinellas officials rescue capsized kayaker off Indian Rocks Beach coast

Lucky to be alive! A Pinellas County fisherman says new technology, a caring 911 dispatcher and quick paramedics are the reason he's alive today.

My Apple Watch accidentally called 911 as I was biking home from the grocery store! Between street noise & unfamiliarity w the watch noise, I had no idea what was going on until @ReadyArlington 911 operators called me back to make sure I was ok! #bikedc #embarrassing

If you have listened to Ep. 239 then you know that I am adding an audio library of 9-1-1 calls as an educational resource to withinthetrenches.net. I'm currently working on collection 1 of 21. 8)
