WHY THIS MATTERS
Dispatchers are human beings.
They answer calls filled with fear, pain and heartbreak. They remain calm while guiding people through the worst moments of their lives, supporting responders in the field and helping keep our communities safe.
This work takes a real emotional and physical toll. If a dispatcher has ever helped you, your family or someone you care about, please speak up for them.

Dear Allegany County Board of Legislators,
I am an Allegany County resident. I am asking you to send Governor Kathy Hochul a resolution or letter of support urging her to sign A.9162A/S.7635B into law when it reaches her desk.
New York's 911 professionals are there when our communities need help most. They guide people through frightening emergencies, coordinate responders and make critical decisions under sustained pressure. Their work deserves recognition and a meaningful retirement option.
A.9162A/S.7635B has passed both houses of the New York State Legislature. It would create an optional 25-year retirement path for eligible 911 professionals, subject to the bill's requirements and employer election.
The request today is for your public support and for that support to reach the Governor. A resolution or support letter is not a decision to adopt the retirement option or a commitment to fund it. Any future implementation decision would be separate.
Please send your resolution or letter to Governor Hochul, ask her to sign the legislation when it reaches her desk, and share a copy with contact@ny911retirement.org so the campaign can accurately document your support.

Thank you for your service and for considering this request.
