+911-ICU, We See YouProfessionals. Knowledge. Public Safety.

Why This Fits

The knowledge already exists. Our challenge is putting it to work.

America is investing billions of dollars in modernizing emergency communications and Next Generation 911. Technology alone does not create reliability. Reliable systems also depend upon operating and security standards, testing, change control, documentation, interoperability, disaster recovery, and experienced people who understand how complex systems behave when something goes wrong.

Those are precisely the kinds of people NaSPA has brought together for decades. Systems programmers, network engineers, telecommunications specialists, cybersecurity professionals, disaster recovery experts, and other technologists possess knowledge that can be enormously valuable to public safety.

Something for Every Generation

Build careers. Share experience. Strengthen public safety.

Connect Professionals

NaSPA continues its tradition of professional networking, technical exchange, education, employment resources, and career development.

Pass Knowledge Forward

Someone beginning a technology career should be able to learn from someone who has spent thirty years keeping critical systems running. Someone with thirty years of experience should have a place where that knowledge still matters.

Support Public Safety

911-ICU creates a place where technical experience can be applied to emergency communications, resiliency, preparedness, operating and security standards, education, and awareness.

Experience Has Value

Sometimes the most valuable contribution a professional can make is not money. It is experience.

A New Beginning

NaSPA's history and 911-ICU's mission point in the same direction.

NaSPA is no longer a 501(c)(3) organization. Rather than attempting to recreate the organization of yesterday, this is an opportunity to simplify, modernize, and build something for tomorrow. NaSPA brings four decades of professional history, relationships, and technical knowledge. 911-ICU brings a focused mission involving emergency communications, preparedness, standards, education, and awareness.
