Our newest training class of 911 call takers has officially begun their journey toward becoming emergency communications personnel serving the residents and visitors of the nation’s capital! Director McGaffin and the team welcomed the newest cohort to the OUC family.

We share our love, condolences, and prayers with Talib’s family and loved ones, the entire MORCA team, and all the members of our community relations teams who loved and learned from Talib.
