I'm deeply honored that Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick has appointed me to the Board of the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet).
For nearly three decades, I've had the privilege of working alongside America's first responders — the men and women who answer the call when it matters most. Serving on this Board is a chance to give back to them, and to my country, with everything that experience has taught me.
My sincere thanks to Secretary Lutnick and Assistant Secretary Arielle Roth at NTIA for their trust and confidence. I'm ready to get to work with Chairman Adkinson and my fellow Board members to ensure first responders have the network they need to save lives.

A great perspective from Nora on where emergency communications is heading.
As NG9-1-1 continues to evolve, the network is doing more than just moving calls. It’s becoming a critical part of how ECCs operate, coordinate, and respond.
Connecting call handling directly to that environment isn’t just a technical shift — it’s a meaningful step toward reducing complexity and improving how agencies work together.

I love seeing the wave of innovation hitting 9-1-1 — real-time transcription, translation services, call recording enhancements. These tools have real potential to save lives and help telecommunicators do their jobs more effectively.
But here's what I'd encourage every PSAP director and IT manager to ask before signing on: Where does the data go?
Many of these solutions route audio, text, and caller information through cloud platforms and third-party servers. Some use that data to train AI models. Some store it in environments that may not meet CJIS security requirements. And in many cases, the PSAP doesn't fully realize it's happening.
We're talking about some of the most sensitive conversations imaginable — people in their worst moments, sharing medical information, locations, descriptions of crimes in progress. That data deserves the highest level of protection.
Before you deploy, ask the hard questions:
Where is the data processed and stored? Is it used to train models or shared with third parties? Does it meet CJIS, HIPAA, and your state's data retention requirements? Who owns the data — you or the vendor? What happens to it after the call ends?
Innovation in public safety is something we should absolutely embrace. But not at the cost of the trust communities place in 9-1-1. Do your due diligence. Read the fine print. Protect your callers.

An effective NG911 system is one of the most critical public safety tools for any state. The best way to ensure success, fiscal responsibility, and innovation is through a full, open, and competitive procurement process. When projects of this magnitude are sole-sourced or stick with incumbent vendors despite years of documented delays and failures, it puts public safety at risk and wastes taxpayer dollars. California deserves a transparent process to get the best possible solution. #caloes #ng911
The public wonders why police are always "on edge ..."
My prayers for a speedy recovery are with the Suffolk County police officer who was shot and injured in the line of duty today. This is a sobering reminder of the risks our officers take on behalf of all who they keep safe. I’m always grateful for their selfless service. #CopsCountPoliceMatter

This morning, I had a productive discussion with the team about the texting protocol RCS, focusing on how we can seamlessly integrate this into the 9-1-1 workflow.
In public safety, we don't need to reinvent the wheel; we can leverage proven, scalable technologies and easily implement them into our existing tools. At my company, we are committed to offering straightforward solutions and positioning ourselves as thought leaders in this space.
Looking forward to driving innovation in public safety!
We’ve built a reputation on trust, expertise, and the ability to deliver when it matters most.
Now we’re evolving. A new chapter is taking shape, built on everything we’ve learned and everything we’re ready to become.
Something is on the horizon and I can’t wait to share more.

The best career path is getting a job and becoming an apprentice. This is the turning point where higher education hinders a new job.
In the future, as 70% of emergency assistance requests come from sources beyond voice calls to 9-1-1, Comtech will stand ready to harness and filter information from diverse channels. This innovation will provide a clear and accurate overview of emergencies, empowering dispatchers to mobilize the right resources effectively. With 30 years of experience guiding us through the evolving landscape of our industry, we embrace this challenge with confidence and determination.
The seamless integration of Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) and 9-1-1 will be the cornerstone of our progress.
