911 Service Gets its Facelift

A few months ago I wrote about the ongoing improvements to our area wide 911 service and showed a partial picture of the work that was done, well here is a picture of the finished product. Kudos to Director Lisa Berger and her team for improving our 911 services and of course making the center look very good.

I stopped by the center a few weeks ago, and was quite impressed with what I saw, the new cubicles are "state of the art" for the tele-communicators and the ones I talked to were very happy with the new stuff.

Area wide 911 service gets facelift.

Over the years we have seen enormous changes and improvements to Cencom our Round Lake Area 911 service, the agency went from a scary pit, to award winning in 5 years. That's a testament to the hard work put into the process by the Cencom board with the 4 Round Lake Area communities, the Round Lake Fire District, the Round Lake Park District as well as Barrington all having a say in the improvements.

Recently the facility (the Round Lake Beach Public Works building) that is home to Cencom has been undergoing some changes, and the Cencom board has approved a complete remodeling of the facility. Some time soon when its all done there will be an open house.

Trustee Brian Brubaker is my appointment to the Cencom board of directors and Police Chief Cliff Metaxa is on the oversight committee for operations.
