Saudi Arabian 9-1-1 Center Opens with APCO Training (10/7/09)
APCO Institute announced the opening of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia in September. The university includes Security Command and Control’s 9-1-1 Communications Center, staffed with APCO Institute-trained personnel and using APCO Institute support software.
KAUST is an international, graduate-level research university dedicated to inspiring a new age of scientific achievement in the kingdom that will also benefit the region and the world. Its core campus occupies more than 36 million square meters on the Red Sea and sits about 80 kilometers north of Saudi Arabia's second largest city, Jeddah.
The all-inclusive program launched in April and is administered by APCO Institute Adjunct Instructor Mark Boudreaux, director of Terrebonne 9-1-1 District in Louisiana. “The duties of KAUST’s APCO trained and certified telecommunicators proceeded with perfection,” Boudreaux said. “The months of APCO telecommunicator structured classroom training, followed by intense scenario simulations, proved to define a world-changing moment.”
