What Is A First Responder?
POLICY
The term refers to “those individuals who in the early
stages of an incident are responsible for the
protection and preservation of life, property,
evidence, and the environment, including emergency
response providers as defined in section 2 of the
Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 101), as well
as emergency management, public health, clinical
care, public works, and other skilled support
personnel (such as equipment operators) that
provide immediate support services during
prevention, response, and recovery operations.” *
*As defined in Homeland Security Presidential Directive 8, December 17, 2003.

If You Are A….
POLICY
 TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPER. We are involved in creating
opportunities to collaborate on research, development, testing,
and evaluation of high priority technology, items, and
equipment. We want to help expedite the advancement of high
priority DoD projects that can result in first responder
capability improvements.
 MANUFACTURER. We want to help the DoD identify appropriate
private sector manufacturers for the purpose of transferring
and commercializing DoD technology for use by first
responders.
 FIRST RESPONDER or PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICIAL. The
program exists to leverage DoD investments to enhance your
capabilities, today and tomorrow. We work across the DoD and
with the DHS and DOJ to accomplish this. There are several
types of assistance available.
 PROCUREMENT OFFICER. There are several programs that
allow you to leverage the Federal government’s buying power,
and its inventory of surplus equipment, to get the best value for
your first responders at the State and local levels.
