After weathering public criticism over dispatching mistakes, Dane County (Wisc.) officials have named the head of the Minneapolis comm center to head their 911 operation. John Dejung, 52, is a native of Wisconsin and attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison to earn his master’s degree in 1988. He’s headed the Minneapolis center for the last 12 years, and was there during the 2007 bridge collapse disaster. The Dane County center has been under fire after the mishandling of a 911 call from murder victim Brittany Zimmermann’s apartment, and for the handling of telephone calls reporting a fight where a man was found murdered in a city park. Dejung will start his new job on June 1st.
