Consolidated Dispatching?

Madison County (Ken.) and and the cities of Berea and Richmond are discussing a joint public safety comm center, but in the midst of a political campaign, it’s difficult to pin down incumbent and out-going politicians on the issue. There’s also the issue of where the consolidated center might be located and who administers the center. Richmond commissioner Mike Brewer told a reporter, “”We still hold in our minds that we are going to be in charge of our communications. We’re not interested in really turning it over to a 911 board who makes the decision on who gets hired or fired. We are responsible for the money and the people that are there and for what occurs in our communication center and it should stay that way.” Read more about the debate here.
