Dane County residents should continue to have confidence in the 911 communications system, but should also understand the limitations of using cell phones when making an emergency call, said Scott McDonell, chairman of the Dane County Board, in statements Tuesday regarding the botched 911 call in the Brittany Zimmermann murder case.
“Our citizens rely on the fact that when they call 911 for help, the call will result in emergency assistance being dispatched within minutes,” McDonell said. “They should continue to have confidence in the public safety communication system.”
