			*'''Reform procurement rules and funding mechanisms''' to support public safety technology investment.
			*'''Encourage culture change''' to increase leadership and vision to implement technologies (a global issue).
			**Funding is needed for training on technology.
			*''Leverage lessons learned''' from major events to drive change (e.g., equipment modifications, governance and operating procedures, and collaboration).
			*'''Focus on cross-agency planning and collaboration''' (e.g., establish working groups).
			*'''Identify the return on investment (ROI)''' for executing use cases and case studies.

			**Encourage dual/multiple uses of technologies (emergency/non-emergency, safety/non-
			safety).
			**Define the safety case – will the technology help or hinder?
			**Leverage test cases to prove the technology and reduce risk of implementation.
			*'''Develop public-private partnerships.'''
			**Focus on cross-agency collaboration and planning.
			**Leverage the collaborative nature of jurisdictions.
			**Include elected officials, including the mayor, city/county commissions, and boards.
