Get a clearer picture of public safety telecommunications with the new 2022 edition of NFPA 1225, Standard for Emergency Services Communications.
NFPA 1225 is a consolidation of NFPA 1061 Standard for Public Safety Telecommunications Personnel Professional Qualifications and NFPA 1221 Standard for the Installation, Maintenance, and Use of Emergency Services Communications Systems. The two previous standards are separate and identifiable in this new standard for individual reference or adoption.
NFPA 1225 clarifies each emergency services communications position, its job performance requirements, and its applicable duties. Emergency services communications professionals can use this new standard to measure competency and maintain it through professional development activities.
This first edition standard is a must for public safety telecommunication professionals and first responders.
