Driving innovation in life-saving, public safety communications technology

July 22, 2018 by SchoolSafetyPartners

With the potential for millions of users on a single LTE network, FirstNet hopes to foster creation of a new ecosystem in which entities compete to deliver applications and other services through the FirstNet network. The nationwide scale brought by FirstNet will maximize the value of every public safety dollar spent by allowing public safety end-users to take advantage of an increasingly competitive marketplace.

The network first responders need to keep our communities safe

FirstNet is taking a “for public safety, by public safety” approach to planning and deploying the network. Through its consultation and outreach program, FirstNet has worked hand-in-hand with the public safety community to understand the capacity, coverage, service, and other public-safety-grade features they need to communicate and use 21st-century tools on the job.

Colorado Funding Initiatives

$30 Million for Interoperable Communications in Schools

SB18-158: SAFER Grant Program – Stay Tuned for Next Application Deadline in 2020
2019 Application Handbook:
http://schoolsafetypartners.org/School Access for Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant Program (SB 18-158) Application Handbook year 2.pdf

Senate Bill 18-158 created the School Access for Emergency Response (SAFER) grant program in the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management in the Department of Public Safety. The annual grant program has started to provide funding to schools and public safety communications networks for interoperable communication hardware, software, equipment maintenance, and training. The bill also created the SAFER cash fund and directs a $5 million transfer to the cash fund each year between FY 2018-19 and FY 2023-24 from the State Public School Fund.

The SAFER Grant solution serves the interoperable communications needs of formally designated stakeholders: school safety teams; school district personnel; and responders, including local fire departments, state and local law enforcement, local 9-1-1, anonymous hotline providers, local emergency medical service personnel, local mental health organizations, local public health agencies, local emergency management personnel, local or regional Homeland Security, and school resource officers; as well as other certified supporting organizations.
