BCES
is made up of two divisions, Southeast Communications

assist public safety responders and support community safety.
At
BCES, we continually strive to improve our systems, procedures, knowledge,

every year, performing
expert analysis of our systems, and attending the latest advanced training
courses.
The

efforts. The following links provide information needed for any individual
or family to prepare for any type of emergency.
If there were an emergency in Benton County, current information about the
emergency would be posted on the Current Emergency page.
An important component
of emergency preparedness and emergency response is education. BCES
