32、ublic Safety Telecommunications Personnel Professional Qualications 2018 Edition This edition of NFPA 1061, Standard for Public Safety Telecommunications Personnel Professional Qualications , was prepared by the Technical Committee on Public Safety Telecommunicator Professional Qualications, release

33、d by the Correlating Committee on Professional Qualications. It was issued by the Standards Council on November 10, 2017, with an effective date of November 30, 2017, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 1061 was approved as an American National Standard on November 30, 2017. O

34、rigin and Development of NFPA 1061 The Committee on Public Safety Telecommunicator Professional Qualications was organized in 1992 to have primary responsibility for professional qualications for public safety dispatchers. The rst edition of NFPA 1061 was published in 1996. For the 2002 edition, the

35、 committee reviewed the 1996 edition of the standard and updated some JPRs, requisite knowledge, and requisite skills where needed. The entire document was reformatted to comply with the new Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents. For the 2007 edition, the committee made minor revisi

36、ons in the existing chapters to reect current technology and terminology. The committee also added a chapter for Public Safety Telecommunicator III. This level responds to the command post of a large incident to provide communications and documentation for the command post. For the 2014 edition, the

37、 committee made signicant revisions to include correlations with Association of Public-Safety Communications Ofcials documents. Denitions and job performance requirements for specic positions reected then-current and expanded roles for public safety communications. It was the intent of the Technical

38、 Committee to include a broader range of telecommunication positions. Where plausible, consideration for awareness of evolving technology in the industry and the personnel responsible was addressed. While not the sole driving inuence on this document, consideration for Next Generation 9-1-1 Preserva

39、tion Act of 2010 initiatives and mutually recognized projects conveyed the concerns for the quickly evolving technology-based public safety communication industry. For the 2018 edition, the committee reformatted the chapters of the document to align with the template recommended by the Correlating C

40、ommittee on Professional Qualications. The committee updated extracts and denitions for the revised document. The committee evaluated and revised as necessary the job performance requirements for the positions identied in the document. The committee responded to public comments and afrmed its scope

41、to include all public safety telecommunicators, while acknowledging other ANSI-accredited standards, such as those published by APCO, for informational reference.PUBLIC SAFETY TELECOMMUNICATIONS PERSONNEL PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS 1061-2 2018 Edition Correlating Committee on Professional Qualicati
