During last week’s City Council Meeting, Kirksville Mayor Zac Burden signed a proclamation declaring April 11 through 17, “National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week” in the City of Kirksville. Public safety telecommunicators perform mission critical tasks behind the scenes to support police, fire and EMS. The Kirksville Police Department says this week is a way to recognize the hard work of these valuable members of public safety and thanks the women and men of the Adair County E911 Center and public safety telecommunicators nationwide.
