In an emergency, before the police arrive or an ambulance comes or a firefighter crew is activated, a call is made. Communications operators, or dispatchers, are the people who take those calls and send help.

From Sunday through Saturday, the Jefferson City Police Department will be celebrating National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.
