Adams County Communications Center Authority (ADCOM
911) is seeking an Executive Director to lead this Colorado public safety communications center, which serves approximately 350,000 residents along the northern edge of the Denver metropolitan area. Located in Commerce City, ADCOM’s service area spans roughly 1,130 square miles of unincorporated Adams County and multiple municipalities—a diverse and rapidly growing region offering a dynamic mix of urban energy, suburban neighborhoods, agricultural lands, and open space.

Established in 1975, ADCOM
911 provides dispatch services to eight public safety agencies within Adams County, CO:
Adams County Sheriff’s Office, Brighton Police Department, Commerce City Police Department, Northglenn Police Department, South Adams County Fire Department, Adams County Fire Rescue, Greater Brighton Fire Protection District, and North Metro Fire Rescue District. The agency is governed by a Board of Directors with each member agency appointing one representative to the Board—typically the agency’s chief. ADCOM has 96 authorized positions and handled 432,015 calls for service in 2025.

Reporting to the Board of Directors, the Executive Director provides strategic leadership and financial and administrative oversight for ADCOM. Operating with significant independence, the Executive Director implements Board goals while ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. The role encompasses oversight of all emergency dispatch communications, technology, and personnel, ensuring rapid, accurate, and coordinated responses to public safety incidents.

ADCOM
911 offers a compelling opportunity for an experienced, forward-thinking executive to lead one of the region’s most critical public-safety assets. As a standalone, self-contained regional emergency communications authority, the organization is in a strong position and poised for continued growth and improvement, with solid finances, dedicated and mission-driven staff, and CALEA accreditation underway. The next Executive Director will have genuine latitude to shape the future direction of the organization.

ADCOM
911 has significant opportunity to modernize technology, build long-term strategy, strengthen relationships, and foster a high-performing culture that matches the importance of the mission. For a leader who believes in public service, thrives in high-impact environments, and wants to leave a lasting regional legacy, ADCOM
911 represents a unique and meaningful opportunity.
