Consolidated Dispatch Centers

Addison Consolidated Dispatch Center (ACDC)

  • Dispatches Addison, Bensenville, Bloomingdale, DuPage Forest Preserve, Glendale Heights, Itasca, Westmont and Wood Dale Police Departments on STARCOM21 (see below) as well as Westmont Fire Department and Pleasantview & Tri-State Fire Protection Districts (ACDC Fire 1 "South" - STARCOM21 talkgroup 2712, patched to 151.2725 71.9 PL ) and Addison, Itasca and Wood Dale Fire Protection Districts (ACDC Fire 2 "North" - STARCOM21 talkgroup 2713, patched to 151.085 77.0 PL) from Tri-State's former dispatch facility. Fire dispatch will reportedly move to ACDC's new dispatch center in Addison some time in 2018.
  • WRAT773 (Village of Addison) - 854.9375 (N722), 855.1375, 855.8375, 856.3625 conventional NFM & P25 repeaters (Addison, Itasca, Oak Brook, Darien): STARCOM21 back-up? (2/27/2018)

DuPage Public Safety Communications (DU-COMM)

  • DuPage Public Safety Communications (DU-COMM) is a consolidated 9-1-1 PSAP serving approximately 44 public safety agencies and is a unit of local government. It is totally separate from the county sheriff. DU-COMM answers 9-1-1 calls for and provides dispatch service to the following agencies on the STARCOM21 trunked system:
  • POLICE: Bartlett (BRAVO units, talkgroup 2609 "1 West"), Burr Ridge (IDA units, talkgroup 2631 "3 South"), Carol Stream (CHARLIE units, talkgroup 2609 "1 West"), Clarendon Hills (FOXTROT units, talkgroup 2631 "3 South"),Darien (JOHN units, talkgroup 2613 "1 South"), Downers Grove (PAUL units, talkgroup 2605 "7 South"), Elmhurst (ECHO units, talkgroup 2608 "3 East"), Glen Ellyn (GOLF units, talkgroup 2610 "3 West"), Hanover Park (YANKEE units, talkgroup 2612 "1 North"), Hinsdale (HENRY units, talkgroup 2631"3 South"), Lisle (ALPHA units, talkgroup 2613 "1 South"), Lombard (LINCOLN units, talkgroup 2607 "1 East"), Oak Brook (KING units, talkgroup 2631 "3 South"), Oakbrook Terrace (OCEAN units, talkgroup 2608 "3 East"), Roselle (ROBERT units, talkgroup 2612 "1 North"), Villa Park (VICTOR units, talkgroup 2607 "1 East"), Warrenville (DELTA units, talkgroup 2611 "7 West"), West Chicago (ZEBRA units, talkgroup 2611 "7 West"), Wheaton (TANGO units, talkgroup 2610 "3 West"), Willowbrook (XRAY units, talkgroup 2631 "3 South"), Winfield (WILLIAM units, talkgroup 2611 "7 West") and Woodridge (SAM units, talkgroup 2613 "1 South").

- As of June 1st, 2018, Channel 7 West police traffic can still be heard on 470.3125 (possibly due to STARCOM21 coverage problems in that part of the county).

Refer to "Codes and Units List" (below) for DU-COMM Police radio ID formatting information and signal codes.

  • FIRE: Bartlett FPD (1-4), Bloomingdale FPD (19-23), Carol Stream FPD (25-29), Clarendon Hills FD (86&87), Darien-Woodridge FPD (88-91), Downers Grove (101-105), Elmhurst FD (1-6), Glen Ellyn VFC(60-63), Glenside FPD (58-59), Hanover Park FD (350-371), Hinsdale FD (84&85), Lisle-Woodridge FPD (50-57), Lombard FD (44-47), Oak Brook FD (93-96), Oakbrook Terrace FPD (48&49), Roselle FD (64&65), Villa Park FD (81&82), Warrenville FPD (11&12), West Chicago FPD (5-8), Wheaton FD (37-39), Winfield FPD (30-33), and York Center FPD (77&78).

As of May, 2015, stations and apparatus have been renumbered for all DU-COMM fire agencies other than Elmhurst and Hanover Park. Frontline rigs use radio IDs that match their respective station numbers (i.e. Engine 38 is housed at Station 38, etc.). In addition, some departments have designated response areas which are outside of their city, village or district boundries ("closest unit"). For example, Wheaton units will be responding to some areas of Winfield and Carol Stream and Winfield will be responding to some areas of Wheaton and Carol Stream, etc. More information on these changes will be posted at the "DuPage County Fire Station Numbering" heading (bottome of this page) as it becomes available.

  • EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT: Elmhurst Emergency Management Agency (154.040 Elmhurst Public Works), Hanover Township Emergency Services (154.145 Fire West, located in Cook County).

*(5/15) - Licenses were granted to DU-COMM for conventional analog FM / P25 Phase I repeaters at the following locations:
