Law Enforcement

The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office became the first agency in Michigan to join FirstNet, giving deputies a reliable network with priority and preemption that will also help connect them to advanced communications tools.

For first responders at the 2017 International Balloon Festival, communicating and sharing information became much easier because of FirstNet's priority capabilities. Instead of slow or lost signals that often occur during large events, law enforcement and public safety officials at the festival experienced enhanced coverage, connectivity, and capacity with FirstNet.

Public safety agencies in the City of Casper in Wyoming were among the first in the nation to adopt FirstNet services. The network provided Casper first responders with critical connectivity during the 2017 solar eclipse when the state’s population doubled with tourists. 

With hundreds of thousands of visitors coming for events and concerts throughout the year, the Atlantic City Police Department needs a reliable connection to communicate through the crowds. By joining FirstNet, officers have priority and preemption capabilities that help them keep their community safe.
