911

State law now requires employers to cover counseling sessions for emergency dispatchers in addition to police officers and firefighters exposed to traumatic incidents, such as a crime involving children or a death.

Officials say this will assist the Navajo Nation’s emergency response and disaster preparedness by making it easier to quickly locate an individual in the event of an emergency.

Kingman’s 911 call center has added another layer of public safety telecommunications to its emergency response protocols to better respond to emergencies.
