PROCLAMATION

WHEREAS, Woodbury County Communications will honor the men and women who serve as public safety dispatchers during National Public Safety Telecommunications Week, April 13-19, 2003 and

WHEREAS, introduced to Congress in 1991, National Public Safety Telecommunications Week is the second full week of April each year. This week is dedicated to public safety telecommunicators who aid in providing 9-1-1 emergency assistance to citizens everywhere, and

WHEREAS, every day, millions of people depend on the skill, expertise and commitment of the men and women who work in public safety telecommunications. These individuals help save countless lives by responding to emergency calls, dispatching emergency professionals and equipment and providing moral support to citizens in distress, and

WHEREAS, the term 9-1-1 is often associated with rapid emergency response, poise under pressure, aid and compassion in times of distress and critical decision-making within seconds.

These professionals make the difference between life and death in many instances.

THEREFORE, The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors do hereby proclaim
