National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week 2025
Every year during the second week of April, the telecommunications personnel in the public safety community, are honored. This week-long event is a time to celebrate and thank those who dedicate their lives to serving the public. It is a week that should be set aside so everyone can be made aware of their hard work and dedication.
APCO hosts a friendly competition every year where telecommunicators and agencies can post their entries into a themed contest. For 2025, the theme is “What’s the soundtrack for your ECC?” where we are asking you what music, song, band or even dance move describes your agency..
NPSTW 2025 "What's the Soundtrack for Your ECCC?" Entries
Running on Empty – Jackson Browne
The song Running on Empty reminds me that even though at times when we’re fatigued, agitated, sad, and want to cry or call off – we have peers that are a support system to help shape our days and help us to simply… Run Along.
