In October UPSEU Members and Watertown Dispatchers Patricia Bessette and Melissa Bostick were honored as the Atlantic Chapter of the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) “Public Safety Communications Team of the Year Award.”
Dispatchers Bessette and Bostick commonly work together during the dayshift and as a team have professionally handled numerous chaotic emergency 911 calls. The dispatchers not only answer the 911 call(s) and speak to the complainant, but simultaneously dispatch police, fire and ambulance personal, all while updating those agencies with the pertinent information.
The Public Safety Communications Team of the Year Award is designed to honor two or more individuals from the same public-safety communications agency who worked on the same incident, event or project.
