Senate Resolution No. 31 recognizes February 3, 2025, as 9-1-1 Day at the State Capitol in Texas. This 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 technologies to ensure the safety of Texas residents.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of understanding the complexities of the 9-1-1 system and the need for ongoing modernization efforts. It calls on policymakers to recognize the invaluable contributions of telecommunicators and to support initiatives that enhance the effectiveness of emergency response services. The Texas Senate commends these dedicated individuals for their service and expresses its esteem by preparing a copy of the resolution for them.
