Every year, the second week of April is designated as National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. It is a chance for us to celebrate and thank those who dedicate their lives to serving the public as 911 dispatchers.

The Communication Managers Association of San Mateo County would like to welcome all dispatchers within San Mateo County to join us in the celebration by recognizing their hard work. This year’s events will be held virtually throughout the week of April 10-16, 2022.
