Patch Staff Report

At their April 3, 2014 meeting, the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners proclaimed April 13-19, 2014 as Forsyth County Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.

The week recognizes the county’s 911 Center employees who, as public safety telecommunicators, serve as the single vital link for law enforcement and fire personnel by monitoring their activities by radio, providing information and ensuring their safety.

“Public safety telecommunicators of Forsyth County have contributed substantially to the apprehension of criminals, suppression of fires, and the treatment of patients,” Commission Chairman R.J. (Pete) Amos said in a news release.
