This course encompasses not only the civil and legal repercussions of liability but also addresses the topic of personal and professional ethical conduct. Topics incorporated include types of 9-1-1 liability, elements of negligence claims, and incorporation of national standards, including the ADA, specifically regarding the TDD. Next, students will discuss the public expectations of service and how they drive our profession. The need for core ethics, values, and mission statements helps identify how to do the next right thing and the potential consequences of violating your code of ethics. Information about four general areas of ethical concerns and ethical leadership in public safety communications will be discussed.
