We are a CALEA Accredited Public Safety Communications Center, initially accredited on March 23, 2002 and re-accredited every 4 years.
Welcome! The Onondaga County Department of Emergency Communications / 911 Center is one of the largest, accredited 911 centers in NY State. We are proud to serve our community and first responders with calltaking and dispatch services to nearly half a million people and ~100 public safety agencies.
We encourage you to learn more about our mission statement and get answers to your frequently asked questions. You can also become familiar with how to report a fire, crime, or medical emergency.
We have a team that engages regularly with the community, both for recruitment and education purposes. If you are interested in 911 coming to your school or next event, please reach out to us at e9-recruitment@ongov.net.
Be safe and be well,
Julie K. Corn
