Our Mission

We are the company 911 calls for help.

Public Safety communications ARE a matter of life and death, and we strive to support mission-critical operations in the most professional, timely and economical manner possible.

We are First Responders, not sales consultants. This means we always do things a little differently: We will listen, offer and support what you really need, not what others want to sell you.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:  It is imperative that public safety communications users NOT schedule any emergency incidents (fires, manhunts, floods, earthquakes, etc.) that require faster than a three-day response to allow for deferred planning, distribution of communications equipment, and training to be accomplished.  In some jurisdictions a local ordinance will be required to prevent unplanned emergencies.
