Meet Elizabeth Holliday, a communications manager from Arlington, Texas, who has been with AMR for eight years. Elizabeth is motivated by being able to assist people get the help they need. She loves helping others and dispatching responders to calls. She recalls a time three years ago when there was an active shooter at a local high school. She was in the communication center making sure the dispatchers had the tools they needed, while helping with breaks and anything else necessary to handle the crisis. She was in contact with the operations manager and other supervisors to ensure they were informed and kept up to date while they were handling the situation. She says the best quality to serve as a public safety telecommunicator is the ability to multitask. Answering the phones and dispatching units to calls is of the utmost importance. Being able to not let situations get to you, such as death calls or upset individuals. She says telecommunicators need to be the calm voice in the dark. Thank you, Elizabeth, for all you do! #NPSTW #OneTeam
