APCO International's Membership Standards
Even before APCO International became an ANSI-accredited Standards Developer, the association strove to ensure that standards and effective practices were developed to address the needs of our members and the public safety communications industry at large. Led primarily in these activities by the APCO Call Center Standards Committee, in the development of these standards, APCO has produced some of the industry's most recognized and respected standards and effective practices.
