County Commissioners celebrated April 12-18 as
National Public Safety Telecommunications Week

FREEHOLD, NJ - The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners celebrated April 12-18 as National Public Safety Telecommunications Week and marked the occasion during a workshop meeting on April 23.

"My fellow Commissioner and I want to thank our public safety telecommunications personnel for the important work they do every day," said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. "When someone calls 9-1-1, they are connected to a dedicated telecommunicator who will calmly gather pertinent information and dispatch emergency responders. The telecommunicators' behind-the-scenes work is essential to public safety and we are grateful for their service."

"The staff at the Monmouth County 9-1-1 Communications Center are the unsung heroes of public safety and play a critical role in saving lives," said Commissioner Susan M. Kiley, liaison to the Monmouth County Sheriff's Office. "As the first and most critical point of contact for our citizens in times of crisis, they serve as the link for emergency personnel, providing vital information that ensures the safety of responders and the public. We honor the telecommunicators' tireless service, which continues 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Monmouth County is safer because of their professionalism and commitment."
