Indiana Senate Mandates a 911 Call Center for Each County
February 18th, 2008 by brent
The Indiana Senate has confirmed a bill that will mandate each state to have its one centralized 911 dispatch center by the year 2012. Previously every county had a separate local dispatch and county dispatch. Proponents of this bill claim a single center will help coordinate the different branches and lessen delays in the exchange of information. Opponets, mainly local governments, complain that they do not like losing control of their 911 budget and feel that organizers will favor Marion County (Indianapolis) with funding. The Journal-Gazette has more information on their site.
