The Central Massachusetts Regional Emergency Communication Center (RRECC) serves as the regional public safety answering point and dispatch hub for several Central Massachusetts towns, including Barre, Hubbardston, Oakham, and Rutland. Based in Rutland, it functions to coordinate emergency communications and dispatch services for public safety, helping law enforcement, fire, and medical responders respond to incidents efficiently. The center operates under the Town of Rutland and traces its origins to 1994, when Oakham’s dispatch center merged with Rutland’s, with Barre and Hubbardston joining later with support from state public safety funding programs. With a focus on central Massachusetts public safety, RRECC consolidates dispatch operations to streamline responses, aiming to enhance coordination and response times for the communities it serves. The organization falls within the public safety industry and addresses the critical need for reliable and centralized emergency communication for its regional clients. The center is part of a broader regional emergency management ecosystem and provides essential dispatch services to its designated towns from its Rutland location.
