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 9-1-1 system and the need for its modernization, urging policymakers to recognize the complexities involved. It commends public safety telecommunicators for their invaluable service and expresses the Texas Senate's esteem for their dedication. A copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of appreciation for these essential workers.
