Honoring the Voices Behind the Headphones

​As we kick off National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week (April 12–18, 2026), the West Virginia 911 Statewide Training Academy wants to take a moment to recognize the absolute best of the Mountain State: our 911 Dispatchers.

​From the Northern Panhandle to the Southern Coalfields, you are the "First" First Responders. Before the sirens wail or the lights flash, your voice is the one providing calm in the chaos.

You are the invisible thread that connects our citizens to the help they need and ensures our field responders return home safely at the end of every shift.

​We encourage every agency across the state to share their NPSTW celebrations. Tag us in your photos and stories! Let’s show the world the incredible talent behind the headset in the 304.

​"Dispatchers don't just answer calls; they answer the cry for help."

​Happy National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week! 💛⛰️💙
