Nolan County celebrates NPST Week
National Public Safety
Telecommunicators Week
is celebrated every year the
second full week of April
It is to honor the men and
women who work as dis-
patchers or 9-1-1 operators
and the endless hours of
service they provide to the
residents of our county.
This year's week of appre-
ciation began April 11 and
will continue until April
17-
"The men and women
who serve as public safety
telecommunicators, such
as 9-1-1 operators or dis-
patchers are dedicated to
saving lives. They respond
to Texans in times of great
need and their special-
ized skills and calm, car-
ing presence are invaluable
to the Lone Star State,"
said Texas Governor Rick
Perry. "The Commission
on State Emergency
Communications works
with local and state gov-
ernments to ensure reliable
access to emergency tele-
communications services.
To highlight the invaluable
role of public safety tele-
communicators, the com-
mission designates a week
in April for an awareness
campaign and at this time
I encourage all Texans to
extend their appreciation
to public safety telecom-
municators. Their diligent
efforts ensure that help is
on the way when we need
it most," added Perry.
At the Sweetwater
Police Department, their
are currently only three
full time communications
officers, Carla Hebert,
Yolanda Saddler and Corey
Stroman. Only one dis-
patcher is available per
shift and they not only take
each 9-1-1 call that comes
in from the entire City
of Sweetwater, they also
transfer those calls to the
appropriate entity, act as
dispatchers and take non-
emergency calls that come
into the station. On aver-
age, the Sweetwater Police
Department receives an
average of at least 50 calls
