In observance of National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, the City of Arlington salutes the 911 operators and dispatchers who answer the calls and save lives every day.

Arlington and communities across the United States will take time to recognize those who help save lives in times of crisis during the week of April 13-19, 2025. This week has been set aside for the dedicated men and women who serve as public safety telecommunicators.

Over the years, several City of Arlington departments and local organizations and businesses have been a part of this celebration. Their support has been in the form of cards, gift baskets, food, etc. Each agency is encouraged to celebrate and honor their telecommunicators in their own way.

This year, we will continue the tradition of honoring our 911 operators and dispatchers in collaboration with City of Arlington Departments, associations, local business and the Tarrant County 911 District.
