CASPER, Wyo. — The Wyoming Highway Patrol congratulates and appreciates the men and women serving as public safety telecommunicators and is celebrating them with National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, April 9–15.
These men and women are citizens’ first contact with emergency services. They are a vital link for law enforcement officers, EMS and fire by monitoring radio activities and providing guidance, assistance and information to ensure their safety. Public Safety Telecommunicators positively contribute to the successful outcomes of many critical situations.
The Wyoming Highway Patrol Communications Center is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The communications center never closes for holidays or “snow days.” In fact, snow days can be some of the busiest days for the center.
Wyoming Highway Patrol telecommunicators often work long hours, missing holidays, family events and other activities so the center can be adequately staffed.
