The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office posted to its Facebook page that its dispatchers “serve as a vital link between our community and fire, medical, and law enforcement agencies. Acting as a critical lifeline to other first responders, these unsung everyday heroes are always there to answer the call!”

They later added a second thank you post to its dispatchers, including photos of those working at the Montgomery County Regional Dispatch Center.

Multiple other law enforcement agencies added their own messages of thanks, sometimes along with images of a black and white flag with a gold stripe, which is used to represent public safety dispatchers.
