APCO and its partners at several national public safety associations came very close last year to achieving significant federal NG9-1-1 funding legislation and continue to press Congress to act. Learn about the foundational definitions in this legislation and why they are so important, i.e., what NG9-1-1 and interoperability need to mean. Understand how federal legislation would achieve these and other major public safety objectives and the resources that APCO has provided to help ECCs in the meantime. Finally, hear why Congress must provide the needed federal funding now to modernize our nation’s aging 9-1-1 systems.
