Company Profile
Denco Area 9-1-1 District
Company Overview
Smoke billows from a rooftop. Two cars collide. A loved one loses consciousness. A prowler finds an unlocked door. When these and other emergencies strike, dialing 9-1-1 is the first step toward help. Since 1987, Denco Area 9-1-1 District has been hard at work implementing and refining the technologies, protocols, training programs, and community outreach initiatives that equip 9-1-1 telecommunicators to direct first responders to the scene — swiftly and skillfully — throughout Denton County. Our staff works behind the scenes in support of 9 emergency communications centers, or ECCs, along with more than 50 public service agencies.
Company History
Denco 9-1-1 was created in 1987 through voter referendum to serve as the coordinating body for 9-1-1 service in dozens of local jurisdictions. We not only implemented the original systems and processes — but we’ve continued to enhance our technologies and training opportunities to keep pace with evolving capabilities and trends. Denco 9-1-1 is governed by a locally elected or appointed board of managers, giving us both the flexibility and responsibility to tailor our goals and budget decisions to meet the specific needs of our communities.
