Today is a good day! I just read  NFPA 1061 Training Standards. NFPA 2007 Training Standards ROCK! 

see a portion below...

C.1.2 Elements. “Many visualize the procedure of placing a new employee with an experienced worker and allowing the new employee to watch over his or her shoulder to learn the job. Under these conditions, the process has only limited success at best. Often it leaves the employer and employee dissatisfied with the outcome. The employee feels apprehension from being overwhelmed with too many sensory stimuli of new duties and new people. It is a human characteristic to attempt to absorb the new environment, but it can be distracting from the task at hand. He or she might also feel apprehension about taking too long to become “productive.” .” The NFPA believes as we do – experience is what they need the most – give it to them with the #1 best selling simulator 9-1-1 StarZ. 


Day In The Life Of A Trainee?


Is purchasing 'StarZ' REALLY worth it?  

Mary Jo Rizzo Panama City 911 says: "The StarZ 911 system has brought our training to a new level. We utilize the system with dummy computers containing our in-house CAD and FCIC/NCIC. We have a four week "training room" training program. By the time new-hires enter the Communications Center they are ready to work call taker position with little Supervision.

Utilizing the StarZ system has enhanced our training program by being able to simulate everything we do in the Comm Center in a controlled environment.  This in turn, gives new hires a little more confidence in themselves that will assist them in trying harder, instead of being overwhelmed and giving up."

What to do about Voice Over IP Calls?  We only wish we could help with the local calls and what to do - hopefully your agency has a data base of carriers to call when you need to find someone.  One long term solution is to educate your public.  Here is a flyer from the FCC - design your own handout from this information and let your citizens know what saving dollars is costing them in safety.
