E-Comm 9-1-1 is a multi-municipality agency that provides emergency communications for British Columbia. The company is a coordinating 9-1-1 PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point) for police, fire, and ambulance services in all of the province of BC, excluding the City of Nelson. E-Comm provides police and fire specific SSAP (Site/Structure Address Point) call-taking and dispatch services for multiple agencies in the Lower Mainland and Southern Vancouver Island areas. E-Comm's SSAP services cover from Whistler to Abbotsford, including the Sunshine Coast, as well as Vancouver Island from the town of Cassidy to Victoria. E-Comm owns and operates the Wide-Area Radio Network (WARN), a shared communications system used by police agencies, fire departments and the entire British Columbia Ambulance Service in Metro Vancouver. The WARN features earthquake-resistant infrastructure and enhanced security measures, providing improved coverage, clarity, and reliability. The WARN allows for real-time communication between members of separate agencies, increasing inter-agency communication and coordination. WARN was replaced in Spring 2018 by the Next Generation Radio Program (NGRP)
