Since delivering State Plans less than a month ago, the FirstNet and AT&T team has crisscrossed the country to meet with 42 states and territories regarding their plans, with 12 more engagements slated for later this month.  The State Plan Review Consultation meetings are designed for the states and territories to ask questions and provide feedback on their plans, so the Governor in each state and territory has the information that she or he needs to make the most informed decision on its State Plan this year.

Recently, First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) President TJ Kennedy and AT&T Senior Vice President-FirstNet Chris Sambar presented on the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network to the Major City (Police) Chiefs Association (MCCA) at their annual meeting in Las Vegas.

Yesterday, members of FirstNet’s Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC) met in San Antonio, Texas, for the first in-person meeting of the year.  Thirty-four PSAC members gathered to review FirstNet’s most recent progress, hear from leaders in the organization, and update general membership on findings related to its task teams and working groups.
