27 News has uncovered the veteran 911 operator who mishandled an emergency call from murder victim Brittany Zimmermann’s cell phone had requested a transfer out of emergency communication work nearly a month before the Zimmermann call.
Last week, county officials confirmed the 911 operator, 54, had requested, and received a transfer from the communications center, but did not specify the date of the transfer request.
911 Center Director Joe Norwick has yet to respond to a request from 27 News for more information on the timing and motivation of the operator’s transfer request.
