The men and women of the Virginia Fraternal Order of Police support the passing of this legislation. The Commonwealth of Virginia needs to recognize the hard work and training this profession requires, as well as the toll it takes on the emergency telecommunicators. Emergency Telecommunicators are subjected to repeated psychological trauma as the JLARC report cites, I encourage everyone to support this bill and pass it unanimously.

Good Morning Mr. Chairman and Committee Members, My name is Danny Clary and I am writing to ask you to please support this bill. 911 dispatchers are a critical part of the public safety infrastructure. This bill would be a tremendous advancement in the field. These individuals are faced with the same traumatic calls as field responders and are the first line of defense for anyone in need. They provide lifesaving instructions before the arrival of field units and require multiple training hours and certifications to hold their position. Their dedication to the community is unwavering. Your consideration and support towards this bill would be greatly appreciated.

Mr. Chairperson, I ask that you please support this bill. Dispatchers are essential personnel to public safety and our communities. They are the first line in supporting our citizens and getting them the care and support they need. Without them, we would not have a functional public safety system for our field providers or citizens. They are expected to be at their console answering the radio regardless of what may be happening, such as a winter storm, disaster, pandemic, major incidents, major storms, and under many other circumstances. They answer calls and walk citizens through life saving measures until help arrives. They talk victims through how to survive bad situations until help arrives. They have to be able to interrupt and understand conversations by just listening. Our dispatchers are often forgotten about and do not get the credit they deserve. They are essential to public safety and therefore deserve all the same benefits as everyone else in public safety.
