The 911 Service System Advisory Committee will consist of 14 members. Of the 14 members appointed, four are representatives of public safety agencies, two are county officials or employees, and two are municipal officials or employees. There are two representatives of the telecommunications industry, two members from Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), and one representative each from the Nebraska Association of County Officials (NACO) and the League of Nebraska Municipalities (LONM).
