In observance of National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, the City of Arlington salutes the 9-1-1 operators and dispatchers who answer the calls and save lives every day.

The American Dream City 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 12-18, 2015. This week has been set aside for the dedicated men and women who serve as public telecommunicators.

Over the years, several City of Arlington departments and organizations have been a part of the celebration by expressing support 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 the Tarrant County 911 District.
