LCC K-9 Ministry Teams Participate in National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week

Every year in mid-April, telecommunications personnel in the public safety community are honored. Since 1981, this unofficial week, known as National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, serves as a time to celebrate and thank those who dedicate their lives to serving the public as dispatchers.

Between April 14 – 20, teams from the LCC K-9 Police Ministry and LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry visited 9-1-1 centers across the country to thank telecommunicators for their service. Some also delivered thank you posters, goodie baskets, or chocolates. One police ministry member paid respect during the raising of a Gold Line flag for dispatchers everywhere.
