NIST First Responder Communications Research Team
The First Responder Communications Research Team at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, https://www.nist.gov/) is conducting a nation-wide survey with public safety personnel to gain a better understanding of the communication technology you currently use, need, and want in the future.
We are seeking feedback from on-the-ground Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS, and 911/Dispatch personnel as well as leadership. The input from you and your organization is vital in helping NIST figure out how to best meet communication technology needs moving forward. Your voices and professional experiences are important. We are hoping to hear from as many local, county, and state level responders as possible, and your assistance is vital in this effort.
Participation is voluntary, and responses are confidential. The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. You can access the survey here:

Our team would also appreciate it if you would share the link with colleagues in other emergency capacities as well. Again, we are seeking input from local, county, and state level responders across multiple agencies. If you would like us to speak directly with someone in your agency regarding deployment, we are happy to do so (contact pamela.konkol@nist.gov). We thank you in advance for your participation in this study.
If you have any problems or issues accessing or taking the survey, please call our Help Desk at 1-877-828-3122. For questions or concerns about the survey, contact our Principal Investigator, Kristen Greene, at NIST at 301-975-8119 or kristen.greene@nist.gov.
Thank you in advance for your help, for your commitment to this project, and a huge thank you for all that you do.
