Des Plaines Committee Recommends Creation Of Its Own 9-1-1 System As Niles, Morton Grove Leave North Suburban Emergency Dispatch Center

A Des Plaines committee recently agreed to recommend to the city council a new Des Plaines dispatch center and emergency telephone system board for handling 9-1-1 calls for Des Plaines and Park Ridge. The change would involve the dissolution of the North Suburban Emergency Dispatch Center (NSEDC) and the managing board Joint Emergency Telephone System (JETS).

Des Plaines, Park Ridge, Morton Grove and Niles were once all part of the North Suburban Emergency Dispatch Center governed by the Joint Emergency Telephone System board. For cost savings and logistics reasons, Morton Grove and Niles are switching to emergency dispatch service provided by the Village of Glenview, which cuts NSEDC down to only Des Plaines and Park Ridge. For Morton Grove, the switchover to Glenview dispatch takes place in January 2013. Niles, is expected to switch over in the first or second week of March, 2013.
