Important Information About 911

Established in 1995, the Douglas County Emergency Communication Department has a primary mission to serve the citizens of Douglas County, including the cities of Baldwin, Eudora and Lawrence, by acting as a communications link between the citizen who needs an emergency service response and those law enforcement, fire, and medical response agencies who provide such services.

The department accomplishes this mission by providing enhanced 911 telephone services for the entire county (except the University of Kansas Campus) and radio dispatching personnel and equipment for the 23 police, fire, and medical response agencies serving the cities, townships, and rural areas of Douglas County, Kansas.
