Kirksville Mayor Zac Burden signed a proclamation recognizing National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week during the week of April 14, 2024.
When an emergency occurs, the prompt response of police, fire, and emergency medical services is critical to protecting life and preserving property. The safety of police officers, firefighters, emergency medical technicians and the public depends on the quality and accuracy of information obtained by staff at the Adair County Emergency Communications Center.
Public Safety Telecommunicators are our citizens’ first and most critical contact with emergency services. Our Public Safety Telecommunicators of the Adair County Emergency Communications Center have contributed substantially to the apprehension of criminals, suppression of fires, treatment of patients and protection of property. Each dispatcher has exhibited compassion, understanding and professionalism during their job performance.
