The Hualapai Nation is about one million acres, presenting public safety personnel with a vast area of land to safeguard.  And while it is over an hour from the closest town, more than one million people visit each year -- arriving by various means, including helicopters and tour buses.  On any given day, it plays host to a constant stream of helicopters landing at the Grand Canyon West, where people then board buses to reach the Skywalk.  Chief Francis Bradley of the Hualapai Nation Police Department says that with visitor traffic as high as 5,000 a day, the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network will help the “Mobile Officer” transmit data and share information.   "A system like FirstNet will be huge in our ability to get data back and forth [to officers] without worrying about the public's need for data exchange."  See more in the video below:
