The Directorate of Emergency Services at Fort Bliss delivers comprehensive law enforcement, fire protection, emergency response, emergency communications, and security operations to safeguard everyone who lives, works, trains or visits the installation. DES is comprised of four integrated divisions: Police Services, Fire & Emergency Services, Physical Security, and Emergency Dispatching. Together, these divisions work closely with local, state and regional partners - including the City of El Paso and surrounding communities - to strengthen public safety, enhance emergency coordination and support a secure and resilient environment both on and off the installation.
