Ntecc

The North Texas Emergency Communications Center (NTECC) was developed out of the Metrocrest Quad Cities (MQC) consortium consisting of the cities of Addison, Coppell, Farmers Branch, and Carrollton. The four cities provide Police, Fire, and EMS services to an approximate resident population of 220,000, with daytime populations being significantly h... igher. The partner cities Addison and Farmers branch are in Dallas County, Carrollton and Coppell are split between Dallas County and Denton County. These communities are considered an inner-ring suburb of Dallas and are a part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. They are home to a number of commercial and industrial areas, and are headquarters for many large corporations. Over the years, the four NTECC cities have cooperated on a number of initiatives including highly interactive service delivery models among their fire departments, shared resources and teams within the police departments, and participation on a common radio system initiative. Consolidation of dispatch is a strategy to allow the cities to leverage their current capabilities into a larger and stronger organization. This inter-agency support provides a greater depth of staffing and higher levels of coordination than four independent dispatch centers.Read More
