Bureau Emergency Communications-BUECOMM

When the Enhanced 9-1-1 emergency service system was implemented in Bureau County in 1996, residents like you, received the latest, most effective technology available. But, like all state-of-the-art technology, the Enhanced 9-1-1 system is only as good as the people who manage it.

Welcome to the official website of the Bureau County 9-1-1 System. The Bureau County

9-1-1 System, better known as Bureau Emergency Communications, or BuEComm, supports and manages the administration of the county-wide Enhanced 9-1-1 system.

Text to 911 is now LIVE in Bureau County. If you can call 911 please dial and phone in if you can.

Not all cell phone providers have texting available so you may get a bounce back message telling you 911 is not available to please call in.

​

​

911 is an ESSENTIAL JOB and the dispatchers must work to handle 911 calls and dispatch all of our First Responders. BuEComm is following all the COVID 19 or the Coronovirus social distancing RULES and at this time NO ONE is allowed into the

9-1-1 Center except staff. If you need to contact someone with a non-emergency call please call the 815-872-1420 line. Stay healthy and safe.​

Texting, using or even holding your phone in your car while in drive is now a MOVING VIOLATION!
