Welcome to the Dutchess County Department of Emergency Response.
As Dutchess County’s central coordination point for emergency response, our campus, located in Hyde Park, is home to the Dutchess County 911 Center and the Public Safety Training Center. The Department is responsible for countywide emergency management, fire and rescue coordination and training, emergency medical services coordination, and 911 emergency dispatch & communications.
Our Department partners with local municipalities, emergency service agencies and other community stakeholders to improve countywide public safety.
If you have any questions, please contact our office at (845) 486-2080.
