The SECC and EMA invite the public to an Open House on Sunday March 20th from 1:30p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The event is designed to provide a first look at the new consolidated dispatch center and emergency operations center. 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.

Open House highlights include : the consolidated dispatch center where all Scott County 911 calls will be received and an explanation on how all public safety (police, fire and ambulance)
services will be dispatched; emergency operations center where the public will see the improved capability of the community response to a disaster; and explanation of the building design to meet LEEDs building standards and the impact on long term energy savings. Guided tours of 6-10 people will be continuous beginning at 1:30pm and are expected to last 20-30 minutes.

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. A formal ribbon cutting ceremony will be scheduled in May, 2011.
