Fired Fulton County (Geo.) dispatcher Gina Conteh has appealed her firing for mishandling a 911 call that resulted in a delayed response. The caller later died from breathing problems. Conteh’s appeal will be heard by the county’s Personnel Board on Aug. 28th, and it could be sustained, reversed or modify the discipline. At the meeting, the board will also hear an appeal of an earlier suspension that Conteh was given for misconduct. According to personnel records released by the county, Conteh has served at least six unpaid suspensions. She was also recommended to be fired twice, but instead was given suspensions. In other news, the county has hired Oregon-based Emergency Services Consulting for $49,000 to examine the center’s operations and provide a report on any needed improvements within 60 days.
