Why does public safety need NPSTC?
• To provide a collective voice on communications issues for the approximately 2.5 million public safety first responders in the United States working for 18,000 local and State law enforcement agencies, 26,000 fire departments, and more than 6,000 rescue departments, plus federal law enforcement, tribal law enforcement, and other agencies, such as transportation and the public utilities who need to talk to one another during critical incidents.
