Atlantic County officials are once again in discussion with local fire and EMS representatives to develop a plan for a countywide emergency dispatch service.
“Central dispatch is successful in counties across the state. There is no reason it shouldn’t be successful in Atlantic County,” stated County Executive Dennis Levinson.
Many counties in New Jersey have countywide or county-operated dispatch services. According to Levinson, centralized dispatch reduces duplication and provides substantial savings without sacrificing safety and efficiency.
