Have an idea for an app to assist first responders in the field?

Want to build apps to help law enforcement, fire and EMS?

Come out for a special public safety hackathon supported by FirstNet, built with AT&T, and AT&T Believe Chicago* initiative. With FirstNet – the wireless communications ecosystem dedicated to first responders – law enforcement, fire, and EMS personnel have access to reliable and highly secure data connections.
