Communications
Southeastern Arizona Communications (SEACOM) is a joint initiative by Cochise County and Sierra Vista to create an independent 911 Communications Center serving all of Cochise County. SEACOM went live on July 18, 2018, when both Cochise County Sheriff's Department dispatch staff and Sierra Vista Police Department's dispatch staff moved into a new facility together. Currently, SEACOM dispatches for all Cochise County Sheriff's office, Huachuca City Police Department, Sierra Vista Police Department, Sierra Vista Fire and Rescue, Fry Fire District, and 18 other rural fire departments.
