City Considers Re-Joining County Center

The city of Flint (Mich.) pulled out of the Genesee County 911 center back in 1995 because of dissatisfaction with the service. They’ve considered returning to the consolidated operation a couple of times, but never pulled the trigger. Now, with a budget that’s even more out-of-balance, the city has begun talks with the county to return to the center. The talks have sparked apprehension among the city’s current dispatchers, who would have to re-apply for jobs with the county, officials say. Read more about the on-going talks here.
