North Olmstedy will be one of more than two dozen other cities using this regional 911 call center.
Under an Ohio law, counties can’t have more than three 911 call centers, excluding big cities. If there’s more, county funding will be cut in half.
“We looked at other communities, surrounding communities potentially forming our own five member regional dispatch center right in North Olmsted and we just couldn’t get any traction,” said Brossard. Briesath is worried, but hopeful this approach will work. He’s worried if dispatchers are based 24 miles away in Bedford, where Chagrin valley Dispatch is located, it could slow down response times.
“If we’re saving the money but we got to keep an officer on station for all this stuff or we have to have a clerk at night where they’re going to have to pick up a phone, I think that’s just adding more time to the dispatch time,” said Briesath. The transition to Chagrin Valley Dispatch will begin in the next month and the goal for the start date is Jan. 1, 2023.
