Our History


Created by and for North Texas communities
Denco 9-1-1 was created in 1987 through voter referendum to serve as the coordinating body for 9-1-1 service in dozens of local jurisdictions. We not only implemented the original systems and processes — but we’ve continued to enhance our technologies and training opportunities to keep pace with evolving capabilities and trends. Denco 9-1-1 is governed by a locally elected or appointed board of managers, giving us both the flexibility and responsibility to tailor our goals and budget decisions to meet the specific needs of our communities.
