If You Are A….
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.

Conclusion
DoD develops and acquires technology, items, and equipment to support warfighters.
First responders can use some DoD technology, items, and equipment to enhance their capabilities.
DoD supports homeland security needs at many levels, through Congressionally mandated programs, DoD-initiated programs, and informal cooperative efforts.
In Section 1401 of the 2003 National Defense Authorization Act, Congress directed DoD efforts to transfer technology to first responders be coordinated by a senior DoD official.
The 1401 Program Office executes this coordinating function for the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Homeland Defense and America’s Security Affairs).
