About

DU-COMM is an intergovernmental agency formed in 1975 to provide public safety communications services to Police, Fire, and EMS agencies.

DU-COMM History and Organization

DuPage Public Safety Communications (DU-COMM) is an intergovernmental agency as defined in the Illinois statute (5 ILCS 220/1) formed in 1975 by our member departments to provide emergency communications services to police, fire, and emergency medical services.

Today, DU-COMM serves forty-four (44) agencies in DuPage County and is one of the largest consolidated 9-1-1 centers in Illinois. DU-COMM processes 1 million phone calls anually and dispatches 700,000 incidents. Municipalities and fire districts have worked together to provide a high level of service to their citizens in public safety matters. 

DU-COMM is governed by a Board of Directors represented by all its member agencies. Each member has voting rights and is encouraged to provide input on Board matters. The Board of Directors delegates the oversight of day-to-day operations, finance, personnel, policies, and strategic planning to the DU-COMM Executive Committee, also comprised of member agencies. We believe our method of governance allows members to participate in the important decisions concerning DU-COMM on a continuous basis.
