History
Kitsap 911 began operating as a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for Kitsap County in 1976 as a department under Kitsap County. Referred then as Kitsap County Central Communication or CENCOM, we provided 911 call taking and dispatching for all the police and fire agencies in Kitsap County.
In July 2015 the CENCOM Board decided to bring our leadership under a single organization so that Kitsap 911 would be more responsive to the changing needs and demographics in our region, more effective at managing our resources, nimbler, and more transparent. On December 26, 2016, CENCOM transitioned to Kitsap 911, Public Authority. Kitsap 911 Public Authority.
