Join the NextGen 9-1-1 Caucus today!
Simply fill out the online “Join the NG9-1-1 Caucus” Form.
The Congressional NextGen 9-1-1 Caucus was formed in 2003 to educate lawmakers, constituents and communities about the importance of citizen-activated emergency response systems. As the link to emergency services, the 9-1-1 emergency call system must be a national priority.
The Congressional NextGen 9-1-1 Caucus is the only bi-partisan, bicameral organization dedicated exclusively to 9-1-1 emergency communications issues. As our nation makes the transition to Next Generation 9-1-1, a successful transition will require strong federal leadership to address the issues faced, including inadequate funding, technology and education. The Congressional NextGen 9-1-1 Caucus has consistently provided the necessary strong leadership and a commitment to the needs of our nation's 9-1-1 system. The Congressional NextGen 9-1-1 Caucus has been instrumental in the passage of major legislation to advance 911 services nationwide. They are considered one of the most active and successful caucuses on Capitol Hill.
The leadership and dedication of the Members of the Caucus to the 911 community is clearly demonstrated by their legislative accomplishments.
