About
Union County operates a state-of-the-art communications center that opened in October of 2012. We dispatch the Union County Police Department and many local and regional public safety agencies including Police, Fire, EMS, the Metro Strike Team and Union County Fire Mutual Aid. In addition, Union County Communications is the contact point for many specialized resources such as Sheriff’s K-9, Union County Bomb Squad and the Union County Hazardous Materials Unit (HazMat).
Interested in working with us?
Union County Communications is always looking for dedicated, customer service-oriented individuals who are ready to take on new challenges. Our training program requires no previous public safety experience. For further information, contact:

In April of 2014, the Dispatch Training program at Union County received the prestigious distinction of being certified as meeting the comprehensive 2010 American National Standards for Telecommunicator Training (ANSI 3.103.1). Union County Regional Communications is the only agency in New Jersey and the tri-state area – and one of less than 75 nationwide – that has been so certified.
