Public Education
Telecommunicator Appreciation Week
April 13th – 19th 2025
Ensuring that the community is well-informed about the importance of 9-1-1 services is crucial for public safety. Education about when and how to use 9-1-1 can significantly impact emergencies. Tarrant 9-1-1 District recognizes this need and offers free community outreach to the Tarrant County and City of Irving community. Through these initiatives, individuals can learn about the vital role of 9-1-1 services and how to utilize them correctly.
Some key points to remember when calling 9-1-1
- Know your address or location of where the emergency is occurring
- Stay Calm
- Don’t hang up until told to do so by the 9-1-1 operator
- Listen to all the instructions given to you by the 9-1-1 operator
- Never put yourself or others in danger when calling in an emergency
