APCO Seeks Comments on Draft Public Safety Communications Common Incident Types for Data Exchange Standard
Alexandria, Va. – The Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) International is seeking comments on the revision of candidate American National Standard (ANS) APCO ANS 2.103.2-201x Public Safety Communications Common Incident Types for Data Exchange.
The revision of APCO ANS 2.103.2-201x Public Safety Communications Common Incident Types for Data Exchange will ensure that the standard continues to provide emergency communications center (ECC) managers with a standard list of incident type codes to facilitate effective incident exchange between Next Generation 9-1-1 ECCs and other authorized agencies.
“The ability to efficiently share information between disparate ECCs and other agencies is a critical component of interoperability,” said Holly Wayt, President of APCO International.
The public may review and comment on this candidate standard from August 2, 2019, through September 16, 2019. Reviewers may use the following link to access the document for review and comment:
