The issues and challenges surrounding our country's public safety communications system are wide ranging, technical and have seen years of research. The resulting presentations, comments, legislation and other documentation can be difficult to break down into manageable categories.
This page of the Comm Center & 9-1-1 Web site is designated to list as many of these resources and references as feasible. It is APCO’s goal to provide our members, and the public, with the information needed to understand the issues and affect change.
