Public safety agencies utilize P33 Certification as a formal mechanism to ensure their training programs meet APCO American National Standards (ANS).

“P33 Certification plays a vital role in keeping agencies up-to-date with their procedures and training programs. Lancaster County-Wide Communications has shown dedication to their community and those they serve by becoming P33 certified,” said APCO President John Wright.

Lancaster County-Wide Communications will be recognized during the Food for Thought Luncheon taking place August 16-19, 2015 as part of APCO’s 81st Annual Conference & Expo in Washington, DC.
