With kids being home more these days does your child know how to get help if something goes wrong? What number do they call to get EMS, Law Enforcement, or Fire? This helpful video is a great way to teach and watch with your child. Our telecommunicators (Dispatchers) want to be able to get them the help they need if a event ever occurs. We hope all parents and educators help us educate all our children. Aiken County Public School District CSRA Kids
