FCC Launches Public Safety Support Center in Support of PSAPs

The FCC Public Safety Bureau said it opened the Public Safety Support Center (PSSC), a “web-based, one-stop portal” for the use of public safety answering points and other public safety entities. “A principal goal of the Bureau is to ensure consistent and timely support to public safety stakeholders,” the bureau said in a public notice Monday. The new PSSC “will handle notifications of service outages, complaints related to carrier provision of location information, and register issues or submit inquiries regarding PSAP or Public Safety operations or FCC rules and regulations,” the bureau said.
