Dispatcher Suspended

DeWitt County (Ohio) officials have suspended dispatcher Mike Harris after an address mix-up in early October delayed the response to a medical emergency that ended with the victim’s death. However, Clinton police chief Mike Reidy said an internal investigation determined the delay was not a factor in the woman’s death. Harris attempted to confirm the town the caller was in, but the caller’s “Yes” response apparently referred to his street address. Reidy declined to detail the length of the suspension or other details of the discipline. Read more about how the incident occurred here.
