An incorrect address has nothing to do with consolidation. IF the caller gave the correct information and the call taker entered it wrong END OF STORY.

And I guess we are to assume that a simple translation error that wasn’t caught be the calltaker would of been caught by a crack team of individual agency calltakers instead?

God save us from public Unions.
