Embattled Director Of 911 Center Resigns

Dane County 911 Director Joe Norwick, who came under heavy fire following the center’s mishandling of a call from homicide victim Brittany Zimmermann’s cell phone, has resigned.

Norwick, 54, a 30-year veteran of the Dane County Sheriff’s Office and former chief deputy, tendered his resignation Tuesday. Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk said Norwick indicated that stress was a major reason for his decision.
