The Vermont State Police may stop handling non-emergency telephone calls transferred from local phone numbers at one of its comm centers, saying its dispatchers are too busy handling their own telephone calls and there is a staffing shortage. Several local agencies around Addison County now route non-emergency calls to the VSP when no dispatchers are on-duty, usually from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. The VSP says 911 calls would continue to be handled, and they would give towns time to work out a solution to the change. About 30 agencies are affected, and they had some strong reactions. Read more about the change here.
