Public Safety Telecommunications Week

The Rock County Sheriff’s Office this week is observing National Public Safety Telecommunications Week, April 9-15.Every second week in April has been set aside to recognize and celebrate the work of telecommunicators helping to save lives every day by dispatching emergency professionals and equipment and rendering life-saving assistance to those who call 911. This week Sheriff Evan Verbrugge thanked telecommunicators who work in the Rock County Law Enforcement Center on North Blue Mound Avenue in Luverne. “They have gone above and beyond the call of duty, especially with us being recently short staffed,” Verbrugge said.
