County signs interlocal agreements for shared dispatch and radio system with area departments

Denton County commissioners approved a set of interlocal agreements to govern shared communications and dispatch services and to allow use of the county radio communications system by multiple municipalities, school districts and special districts.

Agencies listed in the motions included the Lake Dallas Police Department, several ISD police departments, Corinth and other local police and fire departments, Denton County ESD No. 1, Elm Ridge Water Control and Improvement District and others. Commissioners moved and approved both the shared governance agreement and the radio-system interlocal agreement unanimously.

Board members recorded the approvals as facilitating shared dispatch and radio interoperability among participating public-safety agencies for Fiscal Year 2027.
