Valley Communications Center (WA) Receives APCO Agency Training Program Certification
Alexandria, VA – Valley Communications Center, WA, has met the minimum training standards for the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) International Agency Training Program Certification, a Project 33© Initiative, and has been awarded certification as of April 10, 2018.
Public safety agencies use the APCO International Agency Training Program Certification as a formal mechanism to ensure their training programs meet APCO American National Standards (ANS). Initial and continuing training for public safety telecommunicators is important as they provide essential services to the public in an expanding and rapidly changing environment.
“Effective initial training, as well as meaningful and timely continuing education are paramount for public safety telecommunicators,” said APCO International President Martha Carter. “Successfully attaining APCO’s Agency Training Program Certification clearly demonstrates an agency’s commitment to the citizens and public safety responders they serve.”
Valley Communications Center will be recognized during the Food for Thought Luncheon taking place as part of APCO’s 84th Annual Conference & Expo in Las Vegas, NV, August 5-8, 2018. To obtain a complimentary press pass, please contact Meghan Architect at (571) 312-4400 or [email protected].
