APCO International NPSTW Contest 

Picture
National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week is April 9-15, and it's time for the 2023 NPSTW contest! This year we want to know who is your sidekick or super team? 
Most superheroes don’t have to go it alone. Some have a sidekick, or maybe they are part of a super team. Fortunately, most public safety telecommunicators don’t have to go it alone either. Is there someone who always has your back on the tough calls? Or maybe someone who can make you laugh on the longest days? Or maybe your shift works like magic to save lives and protect first responders. The partner to your headset hero could even be a friend or family member outside the ECC who can help you decompress and enjoy that side of your life. Enter this contest for the chance to win $100 for your ECC. The deadline is April 16.
