This week is National Public Safety Telecommunications Week.
The event is observed every second week in April and is meant to recognize telecommunicators who help save millions of lives every day.
The City of Yankton is recognizing the week as well. Yankton Mayor Stephanie Moser says dispatchers are the unseen heroes of our community…
If you ever need help and find yourself on the phone with a dispatcher, there are a few things you can do to not only make their job easier but also to make sure you get help as soon as possible. Those are to always know your address and to look around you for any landmarks, street signs, or other easily identified points to identify your location.
