Across the country and here in Sudbury emergency services will be recognizing their 9-1-1 dispatchers during National Public Telecommunications Week.

Communications Manager with Greater Sudbury Police, Craig Maki says the communicators are the crucial link when police, fire or medical assistance is required.

GSPS employs 40 dispatchers who deal with close to 60 thousand 9-1-1 calls annually.
