Does Anyone What The Term "comm" Stands For? Ex. 1 Comm, 2 Comm, 3 Comm

I was under the impression it is an abbreviation for communicatoins. Like some departments refer to their dispatch as headquarters / base / central, etc.

Could also mean command, maybe?

If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me.

Yes it means Communications. My local PD calls their dispatch "communications" also.
