"The First Responder Partnership Initiative (FRPI) is designed as a model to enhance cooperation and efficiency between state and local first responders and their federal counterparts. The architecture of the card, which uses the FIPS 201 and 14443 contact list standards, will identify first responders and their qualification(s) at the site of an incident, so they may move rapidly into, out of, and within an area in a trusted and secure manner. The card will be recognized across all NCR [National Capital Region] federal, state, and local multi-jurisdictions. The smart card technology is standards-based and can serve as a platform for: (1) physical access into buildings (2) logical access to networks (3) human resource asset accountability (4) incident command and control (5) property/firearms accountability (6) National Incident Management System (NIMS) integration".
