,supporting the goals and ideals of     
,national ,public ,safety               
,telecommunicators ,week4  ,whereas     
public safety telecommunications        
professionals play a critical role in   
emergency response2 ,whereas the work   
that public safety telecommunications   
professionals perform goes far beyond   
simply relaying information between the 
public and first responders2 ,whereas1  
when responding to reports of missing1  
abducted1 and sexually exploited        
children1 the information obtained and  
actions taken by public safety          
telecommunications professionals form   
the foundation for an effective         
response2 ,whereas1 when a hostage taker

 or suicidal individual calls #iaa1 the 
first contact that individual has is    
with a public safety telecommunications 
professional1 whose negotiation skills  
can prevent the situation from          
worsening2 ,whereas1 during crises1     
public safety telecommunications        
professionals1 while collecting vital   
information to provide situational      
awareness for responding officers-- 7#a7
 coach callers through first aid        
techniques2 and  7#b7 give advice to    
those callers to prevent further harm2  
,whereas the work done by individuals   
who serve as public safety              
telecommunications professionals has an 
extreme emotional and physical toll on  
those individuals1 which is compounded  
by long hours and the around-the-clock  
nature of the job2 ,whereas public      
safety telecommunications professionals 
should be recognized by all levels of   
government for the lifesaving and       
protective nature of their work2        
,whereas major emergencies and natural  

disasters highlight the dedication of   
public safety telecommunications        
professionals and their important work  
in protecting the public and police1    
fire1 and emergency medical officials2  
and ,whereas public safety              
telecommunications professionals are    
often called as witnesses to provide    
important testimony in criminal trials3 
,now1 therefore1 be it ,that the        
,senate-- 7#a7 recognizes the week of
