National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week #NPSTW Every time an LAFD dispatcher walks onto the floor of the Metropolitan Fire Communications (MFC or 'Metro'), they enter under the words... "It All Starts Here" It's not just a motto but the foundation for all they do. It is a stressful position that is hard to understand unless you've done it yourself. Communicating with those in desperate need is often difficult yet it is crucial to ensuring the appropriate resources arrive in a timely manner...to the correct location. We're grateful for all they do. For all Public Safety Telecommunicators across the globe - a special thank you. You're not the ones the public sees responding with lights and sires - but you're the cornerstone to it all. #NationalPublicSafetyTelecommunicatorsWeek #IAM911 #911dispatcher #dispatcherappreciationweek #thingoldline
