For more than two decades, NENA’s Emergency Number Professional (ENP) program has certified excellence in 9-1-1. Those who hold this prestigious designation have shown a commitment to the public safety profession by meeting experience and participation benchmarks and demonstrated an in-depth and comprehensive knowledge of 9-1-1 technology and operations by passing the ENP examination.

If becoming an ENP is one of your goals for 2023, then get a jump start by applying now to sit for the exam this winter! The application deadline is this Friday, January 6.

Whether you're taking the exam this winter or later in the year, being part of a study group is a great way to prepare. Those who have taken the ENP exam will tell you that study groups are an invaluable resource. Mission Critical Partner's next session starts January 23. Learn more about this and other groups here.

For more information on how you can achieve this prestigious professional designation, visit the ENP webpage.

9-1-1 Goes to Washington (#NENAGTW) brings you and hundreds of your fellow 9-1-1 professionals together with government leaders in our nation's capital to address today's most pressing 9-1-1 and emergency communications issues. #NENAGTW is the only event where you learn about the policy challenges facing 9-1-1 and then take immediate action to address them through dialogue with your elected and appointed officials.

#NENAGTW offers you a significant opportunity to shape the nation’s emergency communications policy agenda. In order to address the needs of today’s 9-1-1 systems while laying the regulatory and legislative groundwork for next-generation systems, you must understand today’s 9-1-1 policy landscape and take an active role in educating policymakers to shape the laws and rules of tomorrow. At #NENAGTW, you will do both. Join us for a dynamic, interactive program where you receive:

• The inside information you need to shape the 9-1-1 and emergency communications agendas for the Administration and Congress;
• Critical knowledge of federal and state 9-1-1, homeland security, and emergency communications legislation, regulation, and policy initiatives; and
• An opportunity to speak directly with members of Congress, administration officials, and key staff to make your voice heard on behalf of the entire 9-1-1 community.
