Subject: MGT - Semantics - Telecommunicator (5 of 7 parts)
TELECOMMUNICATOR is a more professional title adopted an
increasing number of jurisdictions for what they used to call
DISPATCHERS. They operate the public safety communications
centers public safety answering points for Nine-One-One. They
should be made aware periodically of your jurisdiction's RACES
program and how Amateur Radio phone patches work.
RACES: The Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service. The RACES is a
program established by any jurisdiction's civil defense official
by appointing a radio officer, preparing a RACES Plan, and
training and utilizing Amateur Radio operators. The latter are
screened for loyalty and reliability prior to taking and signing
an oath. The RACES is not a condition; it is a program and unit
of local government providing public safety communications. Thus
the RACES is not a club, association, or self-governing body.
