A REGIONAL APPROACH TO COMMUNICATIONS AND DISPATCHING SERVICES:

The Shelburne Communications Center (SCC) operates under the auspices of the Shelburne Police Department, but we are extremely proud of our service to all Public Safety Agenies that we serve. 

The SCC is often referred to as “Shelburne Dispatch” or “Shelburne PSAP” and serves as a regional Emergency Communications Center.  We operate as a primary and secondary Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), as well as a Public Safety Dispatching Point (PSDP), serving agencies and communities in both Addison and Chittenden counties in northwestern Vermont. 

The Center serves a demographic population of approximately 40,000 people residing in 15 different communities, with a land mass of approximately 424 square miles.  Providing a variety of services, the SCC dispatches for 19 agencies, answering 9-1-1 calls for 6 communities and 12 cellular towers, and acts as an Alarm Monitoring Station.
