In recognition of the National Public Safety Telecommunicator Week (April 13 - 19, 2008) the Statewide Emergency Telecommunications Board (SETB) is pleased to honor the men and women who serve as Public Safety Telecommunicators within the Commonwealth. As a Public Safety Telecommunicator you are the first and most critical contact our citizens have to emergency services within their communities.
On behalf of the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, the SETB, and especially the citizens of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, I would like to thank you for the dedication and professionalism you show every day.
