BCES is made up of two divisions, Southeast Communications Center (SE-COMM/9-1-1 Dispatch Center) and Benton County Emergency Management (BCEM). The divisions work together to assist public safety responders and support community safety.

At BCES, we continually strive to improve our systems, procedures, knowledge, and training. We do so by conducting a number of large-scale exercises every year, performing expert analysis of our systems, and attending the latest advanced training courses.

The public’s participation in emergency preparedness plays a key role in our efforts. The following links provide information needed for any individual or family to prepare for any type of emergency. If there were an emergency in Benton County, current information about the emergency would be posted on the Current Emergency page.


An important component of emergency preparedness and emergency response is education.  BCES is a resource for our citizens, schools, churches, and other community groups. Click here to see some of the ways our agency can provide you with important information about emergency planning and our 9-1-1 Center.

Benton County Emergency Services is committed to the safety of people in our communities.  If you have any questions that are not answered after visiting our web site, please call us at 1-800-841-7953 or (509) 628-2600 or contact us via e-mail.
