           SUMMARY :  Memorializes the week beginning April 11, 2010, as  
          California Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.  Specifically,  
           this resolution  makes the following legislative findings:

          1)Over one-half million dedicated men and women are engaged in  
            the operation of emergency response systems for federal,  
            state, and local governmental entities throughout the United  
            States; and, an estimated 55,000 individuals are engaged in  
            answering 911 calls and operating the emergency response  
            systems in California.

          2)Public safety telecommunicators are the first point of contact  
            for most interactions between the public and public safety  
            systems that keep California safe; and, the public expects and  
            receives extraordinarily dedicated service from these  
            individuals.

          3)Congress has designated the week of April 11 to April 17,  
            2010, as National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.

           FISCAL EFFECT  :   None.
