Thank you 🙏🏼
During National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week (April 12–18), we recognize the dedicated 911 dispatchers of the Gilmer Police Department.
Our dispatchers are the first first-responders. They are the calm in chaos — answering emergency calls, gathering critical information, and sending help where it’s needed most… all within seconds.
They don’t get to see the outcome of every call. They carry the weight of what they hear, yet continue to show up, focused and ready to serve.
Their job requires strength, compassion, quick thinking, and heart.
To our Gilmer Police Department dispatchers — thank you for being the steady voice when it matters most. Your work does not go unnoticed.
Upshur County Sheriff's Office dispatchers we also appreciate you as well.
