| NENA’s 9-1-1 Center Operations Committee, comprised of several topic-specific tracks, works year-long on the development of recommended 9-1-1 center best practices and other operational information documents. While there are no standard, required operating procedures for 9-1-1 in America, NENA best practices give 9-1-1 centers the tools they need to maintain a consistent level of service and work in relation to their peers in neighboring counties and states. The work of the committee and its tracks, in three document formats, will be posted here as a resource for NENA members and other 9-1-1 professionals. Click on the appropriate links at the left for the work of these committee tracks.
Chairperson of the 9-1-1 Center Operations Committee is Dave Mazeau, Director of Emergency Communications, City of Gahanna, OH; ph. 614-471-8674, email [email protected].
