About Session

In this session, public safety professionals will explore the unique challenges and opportunities of implementing public safety broadband communications solutions in Indian Country. As technology evolves, tribal communities face distinct hurdles when integrating modern communication systems into their public safety frameworks. Join our panel of distinguished Tribal police chiefs, public safety directors, and technology professionals as they discuss the specific needs, strategies, and innovations driving the future of broadband communications in tribal areas. Topics will include procurement, cybersecurity, deployable assets, and the importance of culturally relevant training and support. Panelists will share insights from real-world deployments and highlight collaborative efforts that are enabling safer, more connected tribal communities. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of the complexities of public safety technology in tribal settings and practical guidance for successful implementation and sustainability.
