Section 0780-06-02-.01 - PURPOSE

The purpose of this chapter is to establish minimum requirements for the training of and course of study for each emergency call taker or public safety dispatcher who receives an initial or transferred 911 call from the public in Tennessee. Nothing in these regulations should be construed to limit or restrict any additional training that an agency may elect to provide. Existing public and private training programs are encouraged to establish new curricula and modify existing programs to incorporate these minimum requirements. Such programs are urged to develop meaningful methods for measuring the knowledge, skill and ability gained through their training programs and to offer continuing education programs.
