National Telecommunications Week!

Thursday, April 15, 2010

Each year during the second week of April, the nation celebrates National Public Safety Telecommunications week. The week is dedicated to those who serve in the public safety arena who answer the call in times of emergencies or simply to answer questions when a community member is in need. When someone dials “911” it is the dispatcher who answers the call and directs an emergency response. Our dispatchers provide around the clock coverage to answer the call when emergency assistance is needed. This job is very difficult and stressful and it requires a special person with the skill set to not only assist members of the community with minor problems but also in times of danger. Whether someone is injured in a traffic collision or the victim of a violent crime, the dispatcher is the first person a member of the community speaks with when confronted with an emergency.
Please join all of us at the police department in celebrating the members of our dispatch team during this special week!

As many of you have heard by now, United States Marine Corps Sergeant Major Robert Cottle and Lance Corporal Rick Centanni were killed by a roadside bomb in the Marja Region of Southern Afghanistan on March 24, 2010. Both Marines resided in our neighboring city of Yorba Linda and both are part of the law enforcement family. Sergeant Major Cottle served as a Los Angeles Police Officer and Lance Corporal Centanni’s father, Sergeant Jon Centanni, is with the Santa Ana Police Department. Lance Corporal Centanni was laid to rest today at the Riverside National Cemetery. Sergeant Major Cottle will be laid to rest in the near future at the Arlington National Cemetery in Washington D.C.
A memorial fund has been established for Lance Corporal Centanni. Please visit the link below to visit the memorial page.
