President Obama today lauded the nationwide public safety broadband network being overseen by the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet). In a Chicago speech to the International Association of Chiefs of Police, Mr. Obama stressed the need to ensure that police have “the resources you need to get the job done. As an example, he said that “we’re setting aside radio spectrum for first responders so that, for the first time in history, America’s police departments will share a single network.”
