The FCC announced the launch of the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau in September of 2006. This Bureau is organized into three divisions: Policy Division, Public Communications Outreach & Operations Division and Communications Systems Analysis Division.
The Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau is designed to provide an efficient, effective and responsive organizational structure to address matters related to public safety, homeland security, and emergency management and preparedness. The Bureau is responsible for the combined public safety-related functions that were previously dispersed among the other bureaus and offices.
