TO PROCLAIM THE WEEK OF APRIL 13-19, 1997, AS "SOUTH CAROLINA PUBLIC SAFETY TELECOMMUNICATIONS WEEK" IN HONOR AND RECOGNITION OF OUR DEDICATED PUBLIC SAFETY TELECOMMUNICATIONS PERSONNEL AND THE VITAL CONTRIBUTIONS THEY MAKE TO THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF THE CITIZENS OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, the dedicated public safety telecommunications personnel daily serve the citizens of South Carolina by answering their telephone calls for police, fire, and emergency medical services and dispatching the appropriate assistance as quickly as possible; and

Whereas, the critical functions performed by professional public safety telecommunications personnel also include those related to forestry and conservation operations, highway safety and maintenance activities, and many other operations performed by federal, state, county, and municipal government agencies; and

Whereas, professional public safety telecommunications personnel work to improve the emergency response capabilities of these communication systems through their leadership and participation in training programs and other activities provided by the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials-International, Inc.; and

Whereas, the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials-International, Inc., an organization of more than ten thousand people engaged in the design and operation of emergency response communications systems, has set aside the second week in April to recognize public safety telecommunications personnel and their crucial role in the protection of life and property. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, hereby proclaim the week of April 13-19, 1997, as "South Carolina Public Safety Telecommunications Week" in honor and recognition of our dedicated public safety telecommunications personnel and the vital contributions they make to the safety and well-being of the citizens of South Carolina.
