The Chambersburg Police Department and all First Responder agencies in Franklin County are proud to join communities nationwide in celebrating National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week from April 12 through April 18, 2026. 

This week, we honor our 'heroes behind the headset'—the dedicated professionals in the Franklin County 911 Center who serve as the 'first first responders.' They are the 'calm in the chaos.' Our dispatchers are the vital link for citizens in crisis and the essential lifeline for our law enforcement, fire, and medical personnel. We thank these men and women for the precision, speed, and heart they bring to the job every day. 

Thank you for all you do and for your commitment to keeping Chambersburg and Franklin County safe."
