The DeKalb County Office of Public Safety has become one of the first major law enforcement jurisdictions in Georgia to join FirstNet, a nationwide public safety broadband network connecting first responders to crucial information, according to a county press release. 

The network is being built by AT&T in a public-private partnership with the First Responder Network Authority, an organization established by Congress in 2012.
