What’s in it

This bill relates to public safety telecommunicators. Code section 80B.11C requires the Iowa law enforcement academy (ILEA) to establish minimum standards for training of public safety telecommunicators. “Public safety telecommunicator” is defined as a person who serves as a first responder by receiving requests for, or by dispatching requests to, emergency response agencies that include but are not limited to law enforcement, fire, rescue, and emergency medical services agencies. The bill changes the term “communications officer” to “public safety telecommunicator” to conform with the term used by ILEA in establishing minimum standards for training of public safety telecommunicators.
