Joe Norwick, the embattled director of Dane County’s 911 Center, has resigned effective Sept. 19.
Norwick came under heavy criticism this summer following the revelation that the 911 Center had received a call from Brittany Zimmermann just prior to her murder on April 2. Although the call came in, it was disconnected, and dispatchers did call back, so police were not dispatched to Zimmermann’s apartment on Doty Street until after her death. There have been no arrests in the case.
