Trey Forgety

Trey Forgety represents the policy interests of the 9-1-1 community on the Hill and before agencies like the Federal Communications Commission, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, and the Departments of Transportation and Justice. A recognized expert in public safety policy, Trey’s work is informed by a passion for issues at the intersection of law and technology. Since 2010, Trey has shaped the future of public safety communications with policy wins in contentious fights over wireless location accuracy, text to 9-1-1, and communications network reliability, all while leading the charge to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical public safety systems through new cyber security initiatives.
