Senate Resolution No. 31 recognizes February 3, 2025, as 9-1-1 Day at the State Capitol in Texas. The resolution highlights the critical role of public safety telecommunicators, who serve as the first point of contact for individuals in emergency situations, connecting them with police, fire, and medical services. These professionals operate from over 500 public safety answering points across the state, dispatching life-saving teams and adapting to evolving 9-1-1 technology to ensure effective response to emergencies.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of understanding the complexities of the 9-1-1 system and the need for ongoing modernization efforts. It commends public safety telecommunicators for their invaluable service to the citizens of Texas and calls for policymakers to recognize their contributions. A copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of esteem from the Texas Senate to honor these dedicated individuals.
