It's about time! This is great news!

🎉 America’s 9-1-1 professionals are celebrating the U.S. Senate’s action to classify 9-1-1 professionals as public safety, not clerical, personnel.

The Senate on Wednesday approved the Enhancing First Response Act (S.725), a bill supported by NENA: The 9-1-1 Association, which would direct the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to reclassify Public Safety Telecommunicators as a “Protective Service Occupation” in the federal Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system.

Currently, 9-1-1 professionals are classified as “Office and Administrative Support,” a designation that fails to reflect the highly specialized, lifesaving work they perform daily alongside other first responders. This no-cost, bipartisan legislation would correct this outdated classification, ensuring that 9-1-1 professionals receive the respect and recognition they deserve.

“Every day, 9-1-1 professionals are the FIRST first responders in thousands of emergencies,” said NENA CEO John Provenzano. “Reclassifying Public Safety Telecommunicators as Protective Service Occupations is a long-overdue correction that recognizes their indispensable role in public safety.”
