First Responder International Activities Fact Sheet

S&T collaborates with the international public safety research and development community, including industry, through various activities, all closely coordinated with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate’s (S&T) International Cooperative Programs Office (ICPO). S&T’s carefully developed international research agreements help share resources and costs for research and product development, help build the American safety industrial base and most importantly assure that first responders have the best possible equipment to operate safely and efficiently to protect lives and property.
