Until the moment you have a reason to call 9-1-1, many people may take emergency service call takers and dispatchers for granted. They are the unsung heroes who, in that moment of reaching out for safety and help, suddenly become the most important people in your world. From 9-1-1 call takers and dispatchers to technology specialists and support staff, every employee at E-Comm plays an integral role in keeping our communities safe.
Emergency Service Dispatcher’s and 9-1-1 Awareness Week runs from April 4-10, as proclaimed by the Province of British Columbia, and we want to take this opportunity to celebrate the hard work, commitment and dedication of our emergency communications staff—a.k.a., the heroes behind the headsets!
Whether you have been directly impacted during an emergency, or you want to recognize hard work that goes on behind the scenes in keeping our communities safe, here is a chance to thank an E-Comm staff member.
