To commemorate the official opening of the SECC, a ribbon cutting ceremony will take place on Thursday May 19th at 10:00am. The SECC/EOC is located at 1100 E 46th Street, Davenport. Parking is available in the adjoining lot or Dee Bruemmer Public Works Building lot. Brief remarks will be made by the SECC.

Director Brian Hitchcock, SECC Chair Tom Sunderbruch, Architect Michael Cox from Wold and Associates and Contractor Terrence Larson from Larson and Associates. Immediately following will be the actual ribbon cutting ceremony along with a photo opportunity with elected and public safety officials.

Chair Tom Sunderbruch said "The construction of this new building is a symbol of the collaboration of our local governments. We are proud to provide quality dispatch services and improved public safety to our community"

The Scott Emergency Communication Center (SECC) was formed in December, 2007 when Scott County, City of Davenport, City of Bettendorf, MEDIC EMS, and the Emergency Management Agency entered into an intergovernmental agreement (aka 28E Agreement) for the purpose of providing public safety dispatch and communication services. The Public Safety Dispatchers were consolidated in July, 2010. This ribbon cutting ceremony marks the relocation of all county wide dispatch services along with the opening of the building.

Additional questions can be directed to the SECC at 563-484-3000 or secc@scottcountyiowa.com
