The law also requires that the call centers have the necessary infrastructure to share information and dispatch emergency services efficiently. Additionally, the law establishes an Assistant Ombudsman responsible for overseeing 9-1-1 operations and requires that call center staff receive proper training and support. The law also addresses communication methods for callers who cannot verbally communicate their needs and establishes a policy for handling emergency services delays.
