⚓ Honoring Lindsay Szafran with the Anchor Award! 🚨

At the October 14, 2025 Village Board Meeting, we proudly resumed a cherished tradition, the Anchor Award, by recognizing a truly remarkable leader: Lindsay Szafran.

Lindsay served the Village of Fox Lake for over 19 years as our 911 Center Director, leading with innovation, compassion, and unwavering professionalism. Under her guidance, FoxComm earned Accredited Center of Excellence status, and she championed dispatcher wellness, training, and the creation of Lake County’s newest dispatch center—LakeComm.

Her legacy is one of lives saved, standards elevated, and a team empowered to do great things. As Lindsay steps into her new role as Deputy Director of LakeComm, we thank her for being a guiding force—and an anchor—for our community.

“The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.” – Ronald Reagan

Congratulations, Lindsay! Your impact will be felt for generations.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LakeComm’s New 911 Emergency Communications Center Goes Live

Libertyville, IL – November 7, 2025 – Lake Consolidated Emergency Communications (LakeComm) is now officially operational at the Regional Operations and Communications (ROC) Facility in Libertyville, IL, following the successful completion of a two-week consolidation of 911 and public safety communications services for 30 police and fire agencies across Lake County.

“The completion of the LakeComm transition represents an extraordinary accomplishment and the culmination of more than a decade of work. We are incredibly grateful for the leadership of Lake County, the consolidating PSAPs, and all our member agencies whose collaboration made this possible,” said LakeComm’s Chairman Kevin Timony. “Together, we’ve built a system designed to deliver exceptional 911 service for years to come. This effort stands as a true testament to what government can accomplish when we work together toward a common goal.”

Earlier this summer, Lake County celebrated the completion of the ROC with a ribbon cutting event to showcase a state-of-the-art facility that houses Lake County Emergency Management and their Emergency Operations Center and LakeComm with its 911 Emergency Communications Center (ECC).

Over the course of 10 days, beginning on October 28 and concluding on November 6, LakeComm staff executed a plan that consolidated seven ECCs and 30 police and fire agencies in Lake County. This plan also reduced six Emergency Telephone System Boards into a single Joint Emergency Telephone System Board.

This historic consolidation, the largest of its kind in Illinois, has a strong emphasis on staff, by promoting wellness, providing enhanced technology, increased training opportunities, and mentoring for future leadership positions.

This achievement is the result of over a decade of dedication and hard work. From planning and design to funding and implementation, local public safety leaders, the Lake County Board, and local, state, and federal officials have worked tirelessly to turn this vision into reality.

With this final step, LakeComm is setting a new standard for emergency communications in the region. The consolidation of 30 agencies into one unified system will reduce call transfers, improve response times, enhance coordination and interoperability, and provide a model for future advancements in public safety.
