This unique, eight-month program prepares students for a growing industry that requires professionally selected and trained public safety communicators. Public safety communicator's expertise often literally means the difference between life and death for a caller. Rapid technological changes, as well as greater social and cultural diversity, have heightened the need for communicators who can successfully function under considerable pressure.
The introduction of 911 throughout North America has brought increased public attention to the role of the public safety communicators. While the duties performed by communicators vary considerably according to the function and structure of the organization, there is a simple common element: the communicators link the public to those who provide police, fire and emergency medical assistance.
