Our chapter

Missouri APCO received its charter on August 15, 1955 – we’ve been around for over 50 years! Our chapter is comprised of all levels of emergency communications personnel and is duly represented by elected leadership from within the field and state! We work hard to represent the needs of our membership and the industry as a whole. In 2018, after years of working with legislative leaders and the leaders of the Missouri Chapter of NENA and the Missouri 9-1-1 Director’s Association, new legislation was signed that allowed better 9-1-1 funds in Missouri.

MISSOURI PROFESSIONAL TRAINING PARTNERSHIP

Did you know that Missouri Law requires emergency communications professionals to meet a set of training standards in order to be in compliance? No matter the discipline – Emergency Medical, Fire, or Law Enforcement, all emergency communications professionals must currently obtain 24 hours of industry-related continuing education every three-year counting period.

We know that not every center has the funds for in-house training, that is why Missouri APCO, the Missouri State Highway Patrol and numerous agencies around the state are proud to partner together to provide instructors and quality and timely no-to-low cost training to the amazing telecommunications in Missouri through the Missouri Professional Training Partnership!
