This week is dedicated to the women and men who act as the vital link between those in need and the responders who can help. last week was Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s captain, Eric Halbach, says the week was created to raise awareness of the hard work and dedication of public safety dispatchers. Halbach says the Fond du Lac County 911 Center serves 18 fire departments, six ambulance services, 11 first responder groups, and 11 law enforcement agencies throughout the county. Halbach says a dispatcher’s ability to stay calm under pressure and make split-second decisions can make the difference in life-threatening situations.
