Public demands answers on 911 system

More than two weeks after revelations that Dane County’s 911 Center may have mishandled a call from the cell phone of UW-Madison student Brittany Zimmermann around the time she was murdered, the community is still asking questions about the efficacy of the 911 center and demanding quick action from public officials.

Nearly 100 people — including at least a dozen reporters — packed the basement of the Fitchburg Community Center on Monday night for an unofficial public hearing on the 911 system. More than 30 people spoke, and another 30 registered their concerns.
