Missouri state statute 650.330.4(13) requires that the Missouri 911 Service Board conduct and annual survey of public safety answering points in Missouri to evaluate potential for improved services, coordination, and feasibility of consolidation. This survey will also be used to inform the 911 Service Board’s triennial report to the governor and general assembly regarding the status of 911 services statewide, as well as specific efforts to improve efficiency, cost effectiveness, and levels of service, as required under 650.330.4(5) RSMO.
 
We are requesting public safety communicators to participate in this survey, which will allow us to provide the legislature with a reliable picture of emergency telecommunications capabilities, their structure, and funding in Missouri. State statute prohibits any PSAP from receiving grants and loans from the Missouri 911 Service Trust Fund established (190.420 RSMO) if the applicant failed to complete this survey (650.355.13 RSMO).
