IMPLEMENTING NATIONAL PUBLIC SAFETY BROADBAND NETWORK
WebinarThursday, 8 July 2021 8:00 a.m. EDT
The Public Safety Broadband Technology Association (PSBTA) invites you to an insider’s look at the critical steps leading to the implementation of FirstNet, the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network, which serves the United States and its territories. Post 9/11, the lack of interoperability and reliable dedicated spectrum for public safety was recognized as a pressing deficiency in the public safety community. Under this common purpose, public safety leaders came together making groundbreaking strides in coalition building, policy and program development, legislative advocacy, and the ongoing innovation that resulted in FirstNet. Hear from the architects of FirstNet and learn firsthand what it took to successfully implement this one-of-a-kind nationwide network dedicated to public safety and the work they do every day!

Funding for School and Campus Safety 2023
Improving security at schools and on school grounds through the use of evidence-based technology is a primary mission in our society. There are funding streams available in the federal government which can be used for school and campus safety, but understanding the process of how to apply for grants and determining how to best leverage these funds may seem daunting. Public Sector Grants (PSG) is here to help demystify the process and provide invaluable assistance. Join us as we delve into FY 2023 COPS – School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP) and FY 2023 BJA’s STOP School Violence Program. Kamala Kuhn, Director of Grants Assistance at PSG, will provide insight into key requirements of these grants, how they can be applied, vital deadlines, and much more!
We welcome members of governments at the local, state, & federal levels, and federally recognized tribal nations; public, private, independent, and tribal school districts; members of public safety; and those serving in fields related to improving efforts to reduce violent crimes in and around schools.
