Round Lake Beach, IL – Residents in Round Lake Beach may notice an update behind the scenes when calling for help. As of November 4, the Round Lake Beach Police Department officially transitioned all 9-1-1 dispatch operations to LakeComm 911, marking a major regional upgrade in emergency communications across Lake County.
According to the department, the move is part of a coordinated effort to enhance interoperability, reliability, and response efficiency among police, fire, and EMS units countywide. Despite the change, residents will still dial 9-1-1 for emergencies, and calls will continue to be answered by trained local public safety telecommunicators familiar with the Round Lake Beach community.
LakeComm replaces CenCom 911, which had served the area since the mid-1990s. Officials say the new system provides upgraded technology, redundancy, and faster coordination with neighboring agencies. The department emphasized that while the dispatch center’s location has changed, the community’s connection to local responders remains the same.
For non-emergency concerns, residents can still reach the Round Lake Beach Police Department at (847) 546-2127 or visit during business hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
