In what is becoming a high-stakes back-and-forth between Madison police and the Dane County 911 Center, Madison’s police chief said this afternoon (Thursday) that a 911 dispatcher should have sent police to respond to a call from the cell phone of a student later found slain in her campus-area apartment.
“It would be accurate to state that there is evidence contained in the call, which should have resulted in a Madison police office being dispatched,” Police Chief Noble Wray said. “That would have been consistent with both Madison Police Department policy, and national 911 standards.”
