At First Due Communications, we’ve always believed that “good enough for government work” just isn’t good enough.

When Eric and I started this company, it was because we saw a real need: Fire, EMS, and Police teams deserve equipment and vehicle upfits that hold up to the same standard that Public Safety is held too. No shortcuts. No rushed installs.

Did you know that 6 of the 9 employees on staff work part-time, full time, or volunteer with a Public Safety Agency?

Our goal is simple — we want agencies to roll out of our shop confident that everything was done right and is going to keep working. No guessing. No repeat trips back for warranty issues. If there is an issue. We will always make it right.

To us, reliability means building and installing systems the right way, so your crews can focus on the call in front of them, not whether the gear is going to fail.

Your mission is critical. Ours is making sure your equipment is ready for it.
