Commissioners proclaim Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, praise dispatch upgrades
Summary
The board proclaimed April 12–18 as Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, thanked dispatch staff and Justin, the dispatch director, and noted recent investments including a $3.5 million county communications upgrade and roughly $700,000 to enhance the radio network.
Strafford County commissioners voted to adopt a proclamation recognizing National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week (April 12–18) and used the item to thank dispatchers and staff who run the county communications center.
The sheriff described dispatchers as "that first point of contact for people" who provide "life‑saving assistance in those first few minutes," and highlighted recent system investments: county staff reported a $3.5 million communications upgrade for towns and roughly $700,000 allocated to enhance the radio network. Commissioners said they would present a signed proclamation and invited towns that receive county dispatching to join local recognition efforts.
Justin, identified in the meeting as the dispatch director, was singled out by the sheriff and commissioners for leading the operation.
