On February 16, 1968, history was made in Haleyville, Alabama, with the inaugural 9-1-1 call, marking a transformative moment for emergency response in America. This landmark, later becoming Haleyville's City Hall, symbolizes the genesis of the vital service we’ve all come to rely on today.
There are five 9-1-1 centers in Kane County:
KaneComm
Tri-Com Central Dispatch
Quadcom 911
Elgin Dispatch
Aurora Dispatch
As the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) commemorates this anniversary, they urge others to honor the
commitment and courage of 9-1-1 personnel across the country. Their
unwavering dedication ensures the safety of the public, proving them to be everyday
heroes.
