📞💛 Happy National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week! 💛📞

This week, we proudly recognize the incredible men and women behind the headset - our public safety telecommunicators - who serve as the first, first responders.

Every call you answer could be someone’s worst moment. With calm voices, quick thinking, and unwavering professionalism, you provide lifesaving guidance, critical information, and a steady presence when it matters most. You are the vital link between those in crisis and the help they need.

Your ability to de-escalate intense situations, coordinate emergency response, and offer compassion through the phone does not go unnoticed. You are often the unseen heroes, but your impact is felt in every life you help protect.

From all of us, thank you for your dedication, resilience, and commitment to keeping our communities safe.

💛 We see you.
💛 We appreciate you.
💛 We thank you.

This event supports the Angela Lutmer – Missouri CIT Scholarship, which helps provide training opportunities for law enforcement officers in the region.

For those who may not have had the opportunity to know Angela, she was an integral part of developing and implementing CISN and the Bootheel Area Crisis Intervention Team Council. She was also highly respected for her involvement with MSHP DEFENSE. Her impact on crisis intervention and first responder support continues to be felt across the state.

If you’re able, please consider attending and supporting this meaningful cause. 💙

The Bootheel Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) was proud to attend the 2026 Missouri CIT Conference, joining law enforcement, mental health professionals, and community partners from across the state of Missouri.

This conference provided valuable training, collaboration, and resources focused on improving responses to individuals experiencing mental health crises. Our Bootheel CIT members strengthened their skills, built partnerships, and brought back best practices to better serve our communities.

From de-escalation techniques to crisis response strategies, this training helps ensure we continue to provide compassionate, effective, and professional service to those in need.

Thank you to all agencies and organizations involved in supporting CIT and making a difference across our region!
