National Public Safety Communicators Week has begun! We are so very grateful to our administration and all our supporting departments for all the goodies, kind words and support. We will be posting throughout the week to see how we are celebrating here at Tri-Com!

Happy National Telecommunicators Appreciation Week!
April 12–18, 2026

This week, we honor the dedicated professionals who are always heard but rarely seen — the lifeline on the other end of every 911 call.

They are the heroes behind the scenes, the steady calm in the darkest moments, and the critical link that keeps our community safe.

To all our incredible telecommunicators: thank you for your unwavering professionalism, compassion, and strength. Your work matters more than you know, and we are grateful every day.

Thank you for being the calm voice when it’s needed most.
