Sixty years ago officers were notified of
pending calls when a beacon was lit on top of a tower. Today, police dispatch
services are provided by West Cities Police Communications Center, a Joint
Powers Authority serving Los Alamitos, Cypress, and Seal Beach.
Operating on one of the largest interoperable radio systems in the world
(Orange County’s 800 MHz), and serving a combined population of the cities
totaling approximately 100,000, the women and men of West-Comm provide
professional communications services.
These highly trained and dedicated professionals provide a vital link in public
safety, ensuring public requests are identified and prioritized, and field
personnel are supported in their mutual mission to provide a safe place to
live, work, and do business.
In a crisis, the dispatcher may be the most important person you may never
meet. Thank a dispatcher this week!
