The seventh cycle of the Alabama 9-1-1 Board Grant Program is now open and accepting applications.

The overall goal of the Grant Program is to provide financial assistance to Emergency Communication Districts (ECDs) based on demonstrated need(s) in compliance with §11-98 et seq. of the Code of Alabama 1975, as amended. The purpose is to fund non-recurring costs necessary to achieve or maintain continuity and enhancement of 9-1-1 assuring that every location in Alabama has equitable access to 9-1-1 service.

Each year, the Alabama 9-1-1 Board is required to submit a training report to both houses of the Alabama legislature.  You can download this year's reports below.

We collected these job descriptions from ECDs across the state of Alabama.  We are sharing them with you to help you develop or rewrite your job descriptions. Having an accurate job description is vital for many reasons but the most pressing is reclassification.  Since initially posting these, 911.gov has developed a four-part Telecommunicator Job Reclassification Toolkit designed to help Emergency Communications Centers (ECCs) address the changes the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) needs to see to reclassify telecommunicators.
