National Public Safety Telecommunications Week

FREEHOLD, NJ – The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners celebrated April 13-19 as National Public Safety Telecommunications Week and marked the occasion during a workshop meeting on April 15.

“On behalf of the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners, I want to thank our public safety telecommunication personnel for their incredibly important work they do each and every day,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. “When someone calls 9-1-1, a dedicated telecommunicator answers the call, calmly gathering information and dispatches emergency responders. Their behind-the-scenes work is essential to public safety, and we are grateful for their service.”

“These dedicated men and women are the unsung heroes of public safety and play a critical role in saving lives,” said Commissioner Deputy Director Susan M. Kiley, liaison to the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office. “We recognize and honor their tireless service, which continues 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Monmouth County is safer because of their professionalism and commitment.”
