Poudre Emergency Communications Center Receives International Recognition

The Poudre Emergency Communications Center (PECC) has achieved EMD Accreditation as an Emergency Medical Dispatch Center of Excellence from the National Academies of Emergency Dispatch (NAED). This distinction is for PECC's comprehensive implementation and compliance with the Medical Priority Dispatch System (MPDS).

The Board of Accreditation voted unanimously to approve PECC for this important recognition, thus making PECC the 131st accredited center in the world.

The MPDS is the world's most widely-used 911 type pre-arrival instruction and dispatch-life-support protocol system. With scripted telephone instructions for CPR, hemorrhage control and child birth assistance, the MPDS has been credited with helping save thousands of lives. The NAED is comprised of Academies for medical, fire and police dispatching, supports first-responder related research, unified protocol application, legislation for emergency call center regulation, and strengthening the emergency dispatch community through education, certification, and accreditation.

Congratulations to PECC for providing quality service to the community.
