Three Montgomery County employees who answer 911 calls and dispatch first responders were recognized this week for their work.

The second full week of April each year is designated across the U.S. as National Public Safety Telecommunications Week to recognize the public safety communications specialists who speak with callers in emergency situations. Montgomery County police called them the “first of the first responders.”
