Chief Shepard and Division Chief Bollinger reported public-safety updates at the Oct. 25 Committee of the Whole meeting, including outreach and recruitment, and a planned change to emergency communications.
Division Chief of EMS Bollinger reported participation in fire-prevention week and ongoing operations of the 'Be Alarm' smoke-detector program. Chief Shepard reported that 16 candidates will take the power test as part of recruitment. Chief Shepard also reported that, according to the minutes, "the switch from Cal Com to County has been approved by the Cook County Board" and that the rollout is projected for Dec. 1, 2022.
The minutes record the approval by the Cook County Board and a projected rollout date but do not include contract numbers or a detailed implementation plan in these excerpts.
