"The voice you hope you never need, but are so grateful is there when you do."
This week is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, and we want to take a moment to honor the 'invisible heroes' of our community: the Jones-Lenoir County 911 Telecommunicators.
They are the first, first responders. They are the calm voice in the dark, the steady hand during a crisis, and the lifeline for both our citizens and our field units. From medical emergencies to house fires, they coordinate the chaos before help even arrives on the scene.
To our Jones-Lenoir dispatchers: Thank you for your sacrifice, your resilience, and for always answering the call. We see you, we appreciate you, and we couldn't do this without you.
