EL PASO, TEXAS – The El Paso County Sheriff's Office commemorates and acknowledges "National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week." Annually, the week of April 14th though the 20th is designated to honor the men and women who serve as public safety telecommunicators. These individuals, including telecommunicators and dispatchers, play a vital role in using telephones, radios, computers, and technical expertise to assist law enforcement and fire services in the City and County.
