Telecommunicator Information and Chart
Definition of Telecommunicator:
“Telecommunicator” means a person acknowledged by the commission and employed or serving a law enforcement
agency that performs law enforcement services on a 24-hour basis who receives, processes, and transmits public safety
information and criminal justice data for the agency by using a base radio station on a public safety frequency regulated
byt eh Federal Communications commission or by another method of communication.
Example 1: A small agency uses a chief or city secretary to relay calls from citizens to an on-duty officer. This person
is a Telecommunicator. They are performing services for a law enforcement agency by receiving and transmitting
public safety information.
Example2: A part-time receptionist at a department does not take 911 calls but will, on rare occasion, pass public safety
or criminal justice information on to a chief or an officer by phone. Even though this person is not transmitting
information over a radio, they are serving a law enforcement agency and they are using the phone as a method of
communication to relay relevant information. This person is a Telecommunicator.
Example 3: A non-emergency call-taker receives and processes public safety information, but does not transmit it back
out ot anyone else; or a call-taker who receives, processes, and transmits the information to a telecommunicator who in
turn broadcasts that same information to the officers out in the field does not fit the definition of a Telecommunicator
and thus, is not required to be licensed as such.

In addition to completing the Basic Telecommunicator Certification Course (1013) and Crisis Communications
(2120), individuals taking the licensing exam will be required to complete the TCOLE Rule Overview Course (1305)
available on the TCOLE learning website, prior to examination. Other requirements for eligibility to take the licensing
exam follow the same requrements as jailers and peace officer examinations as outlined in 219.1.
Telecommunicators will also be required to complete continuing education. Each licensed telecommunicator must
complete 20 hours of training of their choice by August 31, 2015. This also means that telecommunicators who fail to
meet the training requrements by the end of each training unit will be subject to a reprimand or license suspension, or amy
go inactive depending on their appointment status at the end of the unit. Inactive telecommunicators can reactivate their
license using the existing reactivation process outlined in rule 219.11.
