In honor of National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, celebrated from April 13-19, Linden Police Department would like to shine some light on its behind the scenes civilian employees.
"It is a time where we honor the men and women of our 9-1-1 Central Dispatch Center," Captain James Sarnicki said.
These civilian employees often work under difficult, stressful conditions, and yet, are able to maintain compassion, understanding, and professionalism every day.
Linden currently employs 16 full-time and part-time telecommunicators.
