In NG9‑1‑1, 9-1-1 operations, and public safety response, an Agent is an authorized person — employee, contractor, or volunteer — who has one or more authorized functions in, or as directed by, an Agency.

In NG9-1-1, an Agent is validated by its parent Agency. The fact that the Agent’s Certificate Signing Request is signed by the parent Agency’s Agency Certificate constitutes validation of that Agent. A validated Agent will have a unique Agent Identifier and will be issued an Agent Certificate. An Agent in NG9-1-1 can also be an automaton in some circumstances (e.g., an IMR answering a call). The Agent Certificate will enumerate the Role(s) of the Agent.
