Assembly Resolution No. 1178

BY: M. of A. Walsh

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 April 12-18, 2026, as Public Safety
 Telecommunicators Week in the State of New York
 State

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize
official weeks that are set aside to recognize the vital work and
knowledge dispatchers bring during emergencies that affect the lives of
citizens of New York State; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 12-18, 2026, as
Public Safety Telecommunicators Week in the State of New York, in
conjunction with the observance of National Public Safety
Telecommunicators Week; and

 WHEREAS, In 1991, Congress proclaimed the second full week of April
as National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week to honor and recognize
the men and women who serve as the first "first responders" when you
need help; and

 WHEREAS, Whether you need police, fire or medical personnel, when
you call 9-1-1, a dispatcher answers your call for help by gathering
vital information to instruct the appropriate agency on the nature of
your emergency; and

 WHEREAS, Dispatchers are certified to give pre-arrival instructions
to the caller in medical emergencies, trained on what questions to ask
the caller during police emergencies, and provide instruction to victims
of fire emergencies; and

 WHEREAS, Dispatchers work around the clock all year-long to support
police, firefighters and medics to help keep them and the public safe;
and

 WHEREAS, Sufficient gratitude cannot be expressed to all those
individuals who generously give of their time and talents, working to
keep their communities safe; and

 WHEREAS, Special recognition should be given to those who work so
assiduously for the betterment of their communities, and they should be
acknowledged publicly for the good works they do for the citizens of
this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 12-18, 2026, as
Public Safety Telecommunicators Week in the State of New York; and be it
further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
