This presentation will look at how an ECC can utilize their unique perspective to drive real life training for other aspects of public safety. Learn how Johnson County went from being the forgotten aspect of public safety training to being a driving force in how multi-agency training is conducted in their area. This involvement has not only dramatically improved the level of training for high-risk, low frequency calls for telecommunicators but has also improved the training for law enforcement, fire and EMS personnel in the process.
Learning Objectives:
This session will provide attendees the skills necessary to develop good working relationships with other public safety agencies
This session will give attendees the skills necessary to demonstrate that their unique perspective of every call can help improve public safety training for all first responders.
This session will help the ECC with developing their training program for high-risk, low frequency calls and how they can continue to improve their policies through real-life scenario based training.
