A message from the Director

During the week of April 9th we will be celebrating National Telecommunicators week here at Washington Co. 9-1-1. Around the country many public safety organizations are taking the time to recognize the men and women who work in Public Safety Telecommunications. I would also like to acknowledge the many sacrifices and efforts put forth not only by our own employees but the entire community of Telecommunicators both in the surrounding region and across the nation. Thank You!
