From St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office:
This week, April 9 – 15, the nation honors all telecommunicators. Here in St. Tammany Parish, we are blessed with some of the most professional and most caring dispatchers. They are the first voices you hear when you are having an emergency and the lifeline to our deputies out in the field. Our dispatchers are the behind the scenes heroes – the calming and caring voice you hear when you call 911 and the people our deputies and other first responders depend on to get them to the scene of an emergency and to keep them safe and informed while they are there. Join us at the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office as we thank our telecommunicators. They are the heartbeat of our agency.
