Kentucky PSAP Certification & Wireless 911 Fees

To fund or not to fund, that is the question. The Kentucky 911 Services Board developed a comprehensive certification protocol to ensure wireless 911 fees collected at a statewide level are only disseminated to PSAPs able to deliver wireless 911 calls. The Kentucky Office of Homeland Security shares information on lessons learned in the process and how the state uses its certification protocol.
