Join us for an hour-long conversation focused on where the national push for 9-1-1 reclassification stands today, the gaps that remain, and the emotional labor behind having to constantly “prove” ourselves. It’s a dialogue rooted in facts, but also in the human toll of being misclassified. This session aims to inspire, inform, and recharge those still in the fight, including a call to support each other and recognize each other’s value and work until we accomplish reclassification.

Join Samantha Hawkins, CMCP, a certified PSAP professional and QA expert, and Keely Heyman, CPE, ENP, former 9-1-1 director and Brand and Content Manager at RapidSOS, as they discuss why 9-1-1 reclassification still matters today more than ever.

What You’ll Gain from This Webinar:

  • Clarity on the current status of the national movement for 9-1-1 reclassification

  • Insight into the human toll and the resilience required from telecommunicators who continue to fight for recognition and respect

  • Motivation to keep going and to support others in this fight

Who Should Watch?

This free public safety webinar is for 9-1-1 telecommunicators, PSAP leaders, and anyone in the public safety community who cares about workforce recognition and equity.
