As you know, the work of our partner—the DHS Office for Interoperability & Compatibility (OIC)—is public safety driven. OIC has an opportunity for those already at IWCE to voice the ideas of our membership alongside industry and others. On Tuesday, March 17 (3pm), DHS’s Science & Technology (S&T) is hosting an IWCE town hall session called Preparing the First Responder of the Future. The session, led by Dan Cotter and others we know from OIC, is designed as part of S&T’s National Conversation and is important for informing their Next Generation First Responder Apex program work—which we will be hearing more about in the coming months. (Dan Cotter will be briefing NPSTC on this at the March 20 NPSTC meeting.)
