Warren County Emergency Communications Center

911 and Dispatch Center

The Warren County Emergency Communications Center (WCECC) is the primary Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for anyone residing in, travelling through, or visiting Warren County Missouri. Since its establishment in 1996, WCECC has dedicated itself to providing the highest quality communications support to the citizens of our county and the members of the public service agencies we serve.

Governed by an elected Board, the Center is responsible for answering 9-1-1 and administrative phone lines, and dispatching for all agencies within the county. These agencies consist of two ambulance districts, three fire districts, three police departments, the county sheriff’s office, and emergency management, with mutual aid agreements existing for seven additional Fire Departments.

Besides our communications role, the Center is the major MULES/NCIC access for law enforcement in the County. The Center enters and maintains warrants, detainers, and court orders; performs criminal history and DOR inquiries in support of traffic arrests, and criminal investigations; and relays all messages between outside law enforcement agencies.

Additionally, WCECC is the addressing authority for the County. Any new or amended street names and addresses must first be authorized and approved by our Addressing Department when building in Warren County.

Using the internationally approved Protocol system designed by Priority Dispatch, Academy-certified personnel have been required to use the Medical, Fire, and Police Priority Dispatch System (PDS) protocols for caller interrogation and provision of post-dispatch and pre-arrival instructions since the start. These protocols are designed to quickly and effectively assist with the interrogation of those in need of assistance.
