Buckeye breaks ground on new $16M 911 Communications Center
Expected to be ready in 2025; 911 calls up 23% in 2023

Police Chief Larry Hall was joined by city leaders to break ground on the new 911 Communications Center that will be built in downtown Buckeye.
The nearly 12,000-square foot facility will be part of a public safety complex which currently includes a property and evidence building and training facility. The new 911 Communications Center will allow Buckeye police to expand its dispatch team which managed 23% more 911 calls in 2023 compared to the year before.
The facility will also be home to a real time crime center; a technology driven public safety support hub currently in development.
“With this new communications center, our internationally accredited team of dispatchers will have advanced tools to help them gather critical information during emergencies to better protect the community and first responders,” Hall shared in a press release.
The 911 Communications Center is a $16 million project with expected completion in FY 2025.
The center will be located on Tirado Way, a street named after fallen Buckeye Police Officer Rolando Tirado.
