JPA Agreement

Santa Cruz Regional 9-1-1 was created in 1996 as a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) to provide public safety and 9-1-1 dispatch services for Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office, Santa Cruz Police and Fire Departments, Watsonville Police and Fire Departments, and Capitola Police Department. (Along with these "owners" of the JPA, we also provide services to all the Fire Districts in Santa Cruz County and American Medical Response.) The Amended Joint Powers Agreement, effective April 24, 1994, can be found below.
