§ 26:2k-73.
The Legislature finds and declares that: a. There are over 6,000 public safety call centers, known as public safety answering
points, in the United States. b. Public safety communications professionals dedicate their lives to helping others
by performing work that goes far beyond merely relaying information between the public
and first responders. c. In times of crises, the information collected and actions taken by public safety
communications professionals form the foundation for an effective response by law
enforcement agencies, fire departments, and emergency medical service professionals. d. Public safety communications professionals are an important part of the first responder
community that provides immediate assistance to crime and disaster victims. e. Accordingly, it is altogether fitting and proper to recognize the role of public
safety communications professionals, including 9-1-1 dispatchers or operators, as
emergency response personnel by designating them as 9-1-1 first responder dispatchers.
