Requires 9-1-1 call takers and dispatchers to receive certain certification.

This bill requires all 9-1-1 call takers and dispatchers working at public safety answering points (PSAPs) in New Jersey to obtain certification through the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch (IAED) in both Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) and Emergency Fire Dispatch (EFD). It mandates this certification in addition to any existing training or certification requirements set by the Office of Emergency Telecommunications Services. The requirement takes effect 13 months after the bill becomes law, allowing time for implementation. This policy directly affects PSAP staff who handle emergency calls, aiming to standardize emergency response training across the state.
