during their meeting held on Tuesday, April 16, 2019.

During the meeting, Eagle Pass Mayor Ramsey E. Cantu thanked all the law enforcement dispatchers for the work they do. Cantu officially named the week beginning on April 14 to 19, 2019, as Public Safety

Telecommunications Week. “Between the thin red line, the thin blue line and white line lies the thinnest gold line in the middle. That thin gold line represents those who aren’t ever seen but always heard and appreciated. That calm voice in the dark, the heroes behind the scenes, the golden link that holds it all together. That is you our dispatchers,” said Cantu. Mayor Cantu proceeded to present a proclamation to representatives of the City of Eagle Pass Police Department Dispatchers. Cantu expressed his gratitude to the employees present and to all those behind the operating of the emergency airwaves on a daily basis. “We thank you for all that you do to keep our community safe. These dedicated professionals save countless lives on a daily basis. ”

This week in April is designated across the United States as National Telecommunicators Week. It is during this week that communities across the nation recognize the important roles that 911 dispatchers play in public safety including in Eagle Pass and Maverick County. Eagle Pass Police Chief Albert Guajardo thanked the dispatchers for the work that they do day in and day out. Guajardo expressed the important role that the dispatchers have in our community’s policing and emergency responses.
