The Arapahoe County 911 Authority Emergency Communications Service was formed in 1988 by an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Arapahoe County and various cities, towns, and fire protection districts within Arapahoe County. The Authority was formed as a separate legal entity to fund the purchase and maintenance of the Arapahoe County 911 Authority network for emergency communications service. This service facilitates a more direct referral to the appropriate emergency agency.
