"National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week is held annually during the second week of April to honor public safety telecommunicators for their commitment, service, and sacrifice. This NPSTW I want to thank all public safety telecommunicators working in emergency communications centers across the nation. Thank you for the courageous and lifesaving work you do every day. Thank you for being our first call to safety. Happy National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week!"
Commissioner Anna M. Gomez’s Post

This is an excellent example of a bottom-up idea. Management did not assign this to the Rapid Intervention Training Group. Their 'line-level' leadership saw a need and developed a program to meet it. If you are a telecommunication professional, check out the links below.
We had a great time hosting #Telecommunicators from the 58th Public Safety Communications Academy earlier this month! Our guests got an overview of DFS and the resources we provide, as well as a tour of the Academy while recruits trained in fireground operations. Thank you for visiting!

As we approach summer you may be planning on attending large events. Here are some key safety tips to keep in mind: Plan ahead: Familiarize yourself with the venue layout and emergency exits before arriving. Stay with a group: Stick with a trusted friend or group and establish a meeting point in case you get separated. Stay sober: Limit alcohol consumption to stay alert and aware of your surroundings. Drink plenty of water and never drink anything that has been left unattended. Keep valuables secure: Use a secure bag or wallet to protect your belongings from theft. Trust your instincts: If something feels off or uncomfortable, don't hesitate to remove yourself from the area. Prioritize your safety!

CEO of IceColdLeader | Former Navy SEAL and FBI Agent | Author of Ice Cold Leader, Leading from the Inside Out | Columnist for The Aspen Daily News
The first time I was placed in charge of a field surveillance operation was in Navy SEAL training. After my team and I set up our “hide”, the location from which we would observe our target, I went to find the instructors and let them know we were ready to begin the exercise. As I was about to point them in the direction of the hide they told me not to worry, they would find it, and started off in the direction I came. This was laughable to me. We worked hard to ensure we were positioned in such a way that no one could see us and that we were camouflaged appropriately. There was no way the instructors could find us. In the end, it took them about 10 minutes to locate every member of our six-person team. The lesson here was clear. We were to be surveilling our target for (only) 24 hours and, the instructors explained, it was human nature to find the most comfortable place to settle in. From a distance, sure, maybe we were invisible. But someone looking to disrupt what we were doing could easily find us. Why? Because they also would go to the most comfortable place to look. Again human nature. The instructor saw my confusion and walked me over to a huge swath of thorn bushes. “Would you ever go in there and look for someone?” I admitted, no, probably not. “Then that’s where you should be.” Simple as that. Over the years my teams and I set up surveillance locations that made the thorn bushes look like paradise, often for several days on end. Sleep, comfort, warmth, restrooms, conversation, or anything that made you feel normal, or human were never in abundance during these operations. So, how does this apply to you or your team? Your challenge is to think about what your personal, family, team, or company’s thorn bush is. Most often we choose not to see the thorn bush that will give us success in the end. It’s too hard, we get too lazy, and we feel at peace operating where 99% of the people, families, teams, and companies do, the comfort zone. So, in 2024, if you’re looking to have massive impact, do yourself a favor and go operate in the thorn bush. Trust me, there’s plenty of room and plenty of opportunities to disrupt your status quo there.

Chief People Officer ---> Helping companies build their platform for exceptional human + business performance
What's Your Thorn Bush? It's the opposite of your comfort zone, which is where most companies are operating...and it shows. I call it the "good enough" syndrome. We have leaders who are good enough. Processes/systems that are good enough. Team dynamics that are good enough. Strategies that are good enough. Goals that are good enough. The problem with good enough? It doesn't lead to greatness. Ever. If you want to be great, you've got to get uncomfortable. Identify the thorn bush (read Errol's post for further explanation and a great story).

Providing quality certification programs for public safety systems including hands-on training
National Work Zone Awareness Week, running from April 15th to 19th, 2024, emphasizes the critical importance of driving safely through work zones. Here are key points for drivers to remember: 1. **Slow Down, Move Over:** This policy isn't just courteous; it's essential for the safety of workers and other drivers. Adjusting speed and moving over gives workers more space to operate safely. 2. **Stay Alert:** Always be aware of your surroundings, especially in work zones where changes such as lane shifts, temporary signs, and uneven road surfaces frequently occur. 3. **Put Your Phone Down:** Distractions, particularly from mobile phones, are a major hazard. In a work zone, even a momentary lapse in attention can lead to accidents. 4. **Maintain a Safe Distance:** Keeping a proper distance from other vehicles gives you more time to react to sudden stops and decreases the likelihood of collisions. The International Municipal Signal Association (IMSA) is a leading authority in educational safety programs, with a history dating back to 1896. For those interested in learning more about work zone safety, visiting IMSA’s NJ Section website at njimsa.org can provide valuable resources and information.
