In PSAP, what does the A stand for?

• A. Point
• B. Answering
• C. Public
• D. Safety

Answer: (B)

Answering is what the A represents. PSAP stands for Public Safety Answering Point—the facility where emergency calls are received and answered by trained telecommunicators who determine the caller’s needs and dispatch the appropriate responders. Public and Safety describe who is served and what services cover, while Point indicates the physical location or center. The key idea is that the A reflects the action performed at the center: answering the call.
