Why is NPSTC unique in its role as the collective voice of public safety communications?
• NPSTC emerged from the work of these two earlier advisory committees and continues to provide that important public stage for critical public safety telecommunications. Marilyn Ward, founding NPSTC Chair and NPSTCs Executive Director, “PSWAC was the first time all levels and disciplines within the public safety community worked hand in hand to identify our long-term needs. After spending that period together, we discovered how critical it is to develop consensus and work together as we communicate our needs to the regulatory bodies that control public safety spectrum. The NCC process further solidified our community.
