Local agencies are celebrating National Public Safety Telecommuters Week.

This week-long event is a time to celebrate and thank those who dedicate their lives to serving the public.

The Washington Police Department said dispatchers should be thanked this week and every other week of the year for all their hard work and dedication to the community.

The Dubois County Sheriff’s Department recently said that these unseen everyday heroes are always there to answer the call.

Area agencies invite the public to thank and recognize all dispatchers as they celebrate National Public Safety Telecommuters Week.
