Illinois Public Safety Symposium

November 12th, 9:30am-2:30pm
DeKalb County Community Outreach Building

Public safety agencies across Illinois are navigating a familiar set of challenges: staffing shortages, rising call volumes, interoperability gaps, and the pressure to do more with less.

DeKalb County ETSB and Aurelian are bringing together PSAP directors, supervisors, and frontline telecommunicators for a day of peer-to-peer conversation, practical insights, and honest discussion about what's working, and what isn't, in the local 911 community.

Free to attend. Breakfast & lunch included.
