National Public Safety Telecommunications Week
City of Atlanta 911 Team to be honored
The Atlanta Police Department will celebrate National Public Safety Telecommunications Week, April 13 - 17. During this time, we will recognize the hardworking men and women of the E911 Communications Staff at an awards luncheon with guest speaker, Ms. Jaquitta Williams.
On Wednesday April 15th; from Noon-1:00p.m. join us on Twitter for the E-911 “Tweet-a-thon.” The Tweet-a-thon is intended to provide the public with an opportunity to send tweets and/or video messages to say thank you to TEAM ATLANTA 911. Follow us at @Atlanta_Police #thankyouteamATL911
Media outlets are welcome to capture video and sound from during this time.
“We are truly grateful for the men and women of our E911 staff as without their efforts we would be incapable of providing vital services to the City of Atlanta,” said Chief George N. Turner.
Every year during the second week of April, the telecommunications personnel in the public safety community, are honored. This week-long event, initially set up in 1981 by Patricia Anderson of the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office in California, is a time to celebrate and thank those who dedicate their lives to serving the public.
