9-1-1 ACOG Call Taker Institute

Since 1994, the 9-1-1 Association has regularly offered area call-takers basic telecommunicator training as well as occasionally hosting supervisor training and train-the-trainer courses through the 9-1-1 Institute. This has been a great success with a substantial percentage of all telecommunicators in the region now having national certification.

9-1-1 ACOG is expanding the 9-1-1 Institute to provide affordable post-basic training. The Continuing Education Series will be offered to area telecommunicators and managers to enhance skills in the emergency communications center.
