We need to get this straightened out and consistent. Clearly, it has been confusing, since this talk page is Public Safety Answering Point and its article is Public-safety answering point. It's been moved a lot ( history), so I think we need consensus before I just go moving things around more.
I did a little research:
I suggest we drop the hyphen. Radiojon's “consistency with English language” is less meaningful when this phrase almost always appears (in the English language) without the hyphen.
For capitalization, I'm not sure. I favor lower case, but mostly for aesthetics.

As per WP:TITLE, this should not be capitalised. It is irrelevant the way other sources write it, it is not a proper noun, but a class of things. Mauls ( talk) 14:49, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. TonyBallioni ( talk) 21:27, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
Public Safety Answering Point → Public safety answering point – The title should not be capitalised per WP:TITLE Mauls ( talk) 14:49, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
Agree that it should be moved. It was moved to the current title in January of this year, after being at the non-capped title for eight years. The editor that did that move gave an edit summary of "reverting vandalism to title". Disingenuous at best. Primergrey ( talk) 01:32, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
