Founded in 2010, FRC is comprised of a team of business, law enforcement and military professionals with strong backgrounds that encompass an understanding of both the operational needs of the first responders/warfighter and the inner workings of government policy and procurement. This foundation enables FRC to do what it does best; bridge the gap between policy and tactics by cultivating and show
casing developing technologies to high-level stakeholders to identify and secure public safety applications. It is no small feat when a company finds itself needing to complete the daunting task of navigating the federal procurement process. The choice is either to give up or to dive deep into the bureaucratic red tape that is the side-effect of well-meaning regulations. Success lies in portraying the company as a resource by reflecting its capability in matching the requirement and introducing it to the customer(s). FRC helps our clients reach their desired objective by taking a “big picture” approach. We analyze the different avenues that can lead the company to the end goal, present a range of possibilities and then recommend the optimal path the client should follow. Recommendation is only part of the process; implementing the strategies developed by FRC is the key to success. We remain committed to ensuring our clients reach their full potential by ensuring the internalization of our developed strategies and putting them into practice. Our team of experts can provide high-level introductions to Industry Partners, First Responders, the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice and Department of Defense. We have spent years cultivating relationships with our contacts and will in turn help our clients make connections and develop relationships that will help further their success in the years to come. We will be there every step of the way with training, the latest technology and connections to our vast network within law enforcement, government, industry, community, academia and the military.
