It makes the dispatch center a political chess piece that policy and procedures are dictated at the whim of whomever is holding that elected office. The commissioners in our county are in charge of the dispatch center and while they are also elected officials, there are 3 commissioners that ultimately make any final decisions on anything of controversy that is brought to them. We also have an appointed 911 board that the director keeps informed of the day to day operations in the center.
