 A Message from the Executive Director

Hello and welcome to Denver 911.  I hope that you find the information on our website interesting and helpful. The website content was developed in collaboration with our employees, supervisors and the management of Denver 911.  

 

To say that 2008 has been a year of change for us is an understatement.  We completed the civilianization of our Leadership Team; achieved unparalleled success with our recruiting and staffing efforts; and have vastly improved our training program for new AND tenured employees.  We have initiated a number of public outreach programs; added redundancy to our critical infrastructure; and have developed new performance metrics that have improved our ability to measure and improve our level of customer service.

 

We worked collaboratively with our public safety partners since January, 2007 in the planning and execution of the interagency communications for the Democratic National Convention.  Our teams worked endlessly to help deliver a safe and successful convention experience for the citizens, attendees, delegates and first-responders.  I could not be more proud of the efforts of our line-level employees, the supervisory and training teams and the managers who handled every task, large and small, with apparent ease. And as a result of time spent with our partner agencies, we have improved our working relationships with the employees from neighboring 911 Centers.  We simply could not have been as successful without their experience and assistance.

 

Our employees are taking on new responsibilities and assuming leadership roles in the Center; I’m excited by the results we have experienced and am looking forward to 2009.  It is only by working together that we can bring premier service to the citizens of the City and County of Denver.

 

My personal measure of success is that the citizens and customers of Denver 911 are served quickly, efficiently, courteously and with the utmost respect.  I welcome any comments about your experience and can be reached at 720.913.2025, carl.simpson@denvergov.org or by clicking this LINK to take you to our feedback form.

 

Thank you for visiting the Denver 911 home page.

 Denver 911 - A Short History

The City & County of Denver began “Enhanced 911 or E911” service to its citizenry in 1989. Denver 911, formerly housed fire dispatch, alarm headquarters and transmitter (radio) personnel.  Paramedic and Police Dispatch relocated to the building and began operating in the Center December 20, 1992.

 

The building now houses Denver 911 Operators and Dispatchers, Denver Fire Dispatchers and Denver Health Paramedic Dispatchers. All 911 calls placed within the Denver City and County geographical boundaries are received and then screened to determine if the caller has a police, fire, or medical emergency.  The call is then either immediately transferred to Fire or Paramedic Dispatchers or handled by 911 Operators for Police dispatching.
