National Public-Safety Telecommunications Week
April 13-19, 2003
Whereas emergencies can occur at anytime that require police, fire or emergency
medical services;
And Whereas when an emergency occurs the prompt response of police officers,
firefighters and paramedics is critical to the protection of life and preservation of
property;
And Whereas the safety of our police officers and firefighters is dependent upon the
quality and accuracy of information obtained from citizens who telephone the Vail Public
Safety Communications Center;
And Whereas Public Safety Dispatchers are the first and most critical contact our
citizens have with emergency services;
And Whereas Public Safety Dispatchers are the single vital link for our police officers
and firefighters by monitoring their activities by radio, providing them information and
insuring their safety;
And Whereas Public Safety Dispatchers of the Vail Public Safety Communication
Center have contributed substantially to the apprehension of criminals, suppression of
fires and treatment of the sick and injured;
And Whereas each dispatcher has exhibited compassion, understanding and
professionalism during the performance of their job in the past year;
Therefore Be It Resolved that the Vail Town Council declares the week of April 13
through 19, 2003 to be National Telecommunications Week in Vail, in honor of the men
and women whose diligence and professionalism keep our city and citizens safe.
Signed this 1St day of April, 2003.
