9-1-1 MOVING FORWARD SERIES - SEGMENT 2: SHERIFF SWANSON REAFFIRMS HIS "OPT OUT" OF 9-1-1 CENTRALIZED DISPACTCH IN FAVOR OF STARK COUNTY COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS (SCOG) GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE



By Ohio law, the county sheriff gets first dibs on providing 9-1-1 centralized dispatch to all of the county.

All the sheriff does now is to take calls at the Stark Call Center and then pass the call on to one of ten existing dispatch centers scattered across Stark County.

In the accompanying video of Swanson speaking at the Canton dispatch center this past Thursday, the SCPR presents Swanson's core message on his decision to opt out of being the communications center for 9-1-1 centralized dispatch.
