  Jeff Rubin, Jeff.Rubin@tvfr.com
  The Department of Homeland Security’s Science & Technology (S&T) Directorate has recently begun a new First Responders Working Group.  Their task is to identify capability gaps and future technology requirements that S&T should attempt to fill through research and then work with the private sector to develop it. A group of 38 individuals from four key professions (Law Enforcement, Fire Service, Emergency Medical Services, and Emergency Management) has been appointed to serve as that First Responder Working Group.  They will now begin a series of meetings and correspondence to identify gaps and make recommendations to S&T on products that would make our jobs easier, safer, or more efficient.  Those products may range from protective equipment to communications to software and beyond.
