New York City Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly will host the graduation ceremony for the new class of 27 Police Communications Technicians on Friday, November 8, at 1 p.m. The ceremony will take place in the auditorium at 11 Metro Tech Plaza in Brooklyn.

The new group of PCTs graduated from the 40-day E-911 Calltaker class and will now join the Department's Communications Section. The mission of personnel in this section is to promptly and courteously service a daily average of more than 32,000 emergency calls from the public, and to notify and dispatch appropriate patrols.

In 2001, more than 11.8 million emergency 911 calls were received by the Communications Section, and more than 4.4 million of them resulted in the dispatch of patrols.
