Next Week: Free Webinar on Reducing Bias in Emergency Response

Stereotype Threat: Diagnosing Potential Public-Safety Bias
Wednesday, February 23 | 3PM Eastern (live) or On-Demand
FREE for NENA Members | Click here to register!


As 9-1-1 professionals, we have a front-row seat to the social tensions that can be present in public-safety interactions. We witness, first-hand, the issues that can arise during multi-ethnic requests for emergency assistance and must make split-second decisions based on what may or may not be reliable information or accurate assumptions. The ripple effect of these situations can be far reaching, potentially affecting internal team dynamics, agency morale, and even the wellbeing of an entire community. How do we adequately equip ourselves for these 9-1-1 calls?

The stereotype threat model provides a holistic approach for diagnosing, discussing, and responding to the complex identity biases that can significantly shape the delivery of emergency services. Attend this webinar to:
