Summary

Appendix E in the committee packet lists 911 event counts by nature, hours and day-of-week for sample days; three sample law-enforcement day totals are 1,488, 1,528 and 1,566 with common calls including abandoned 911, ambulance requests and citizen assists.

The 911/Central Dispatch appendix provided a three-day sample of call volumes and types. Law-enforcement event totals for the three sample days were 1,488; 1,528; and 1,566. The dataset lists common call types such as abandoned 911 calls, ambulance requests, citizen assists, traffic stops and domestic calls and provides hourly distributions and day-of-week totals.

The appendix also contains Fire & EMS tallies for the same sample days; ambulance requests in that sample were listed as 250, 225 and 200 on the three days shown. 911 leadership listed in the packet includes 911 Director Mike Machen and Deputy 911 Director/Emergency Manager Alvin Rischel. Because the committee lacked a quorum, the dispatch report was entered into the record for later review rather than being acted on at the meeting.
