DuPage Public Safety Communications (DU-COMM) is an intergovernmental agency which provides 9-1-1, public safety dispatch, and other public safety communications services to forty-five (45) member police and fire agencies in DuPage County. These services include weather monitoring and activation of severe weather sirens when appropriate.
At approximately 3:00am on August 18th, a member of DU-COMM staff attempted to conduct a planned test of the weather siren activation systems. These tests are designed to assess the functionality of the technology without activating the sirens.
During the test, the staff member accidentally activated the sirens. As soon as the error was realized, DU-COMM staff deactivated the sirens.
DU-COMM recognizes and appreciates the trust its member agencies and the public place in us, and we regret that our error caused unnecessary interruption or confusion. We sincerely apologize.
Whether you have inquiries about emergency services, community programs, or need assistance, we’re here to ensure seamless communication and support for the safety and well-being of DuPage County residents.
