The hiring authority or also referred to as the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). The Agency or body that defines the roles, responsibilities, policies and procedures, and performance standards that direct the activity of the Public Safety Telecommunicator. In multi-discipline centers, the Agency governs the operation providing call taking/dispatch and related services to customer agencies; in single discipline centers, a single Agency may direct these services for one or more departments within a service area. Both have the duty to define training appropriateness, content, format, and continuing education requirements.
