WEST CITIES POLICE COMMUNICATIONS

Police dispatch services for the City of Los Alamitos are provided by the West Cities Police Communications Center, also known as West-Comm. West-Comm is a consolidated police dispatch center, formed by a Joint Powers Authority between the cities of Cypress, Los Alamitos and Seal Beach. Located at the Seal Beach Police Department, West-Comm serves a combined population of approximately 100,000 and answers more that 19,000 emergency 9-1-1 calls each year. The success of West-Comm is evident in improved communication services, enhanced mutual-aid field effectiveness and an improved employees’ work environment.

Our Dispatchers Dispatchers serve as the primary link between the public and the Police Officers in the field. They receive emergency telephone calls and assist citizens with requests for service and general inquiries. Each call is evaluated and the appropriate Public Safety personnel are dispatched to handle the situation. Dispatchers are routinely required to make independent decisions with after-the–fact supervisory review. Responsibilities also include using the Computer Aided Dispatch and Records Management Systems, maintaining records, and performing typing assignments, which include data entry.

West-Comm hires Police Dispatchers who are enthusiastic, flexible and dedicated with a proven background in job performance.
