The Dane County Board wants to hear from the public about the 911 communications center.
A public hearing about the emergency communications system is set for 6 p.m. today in Room 201 of the City-County Building, followed by a presentation from Richard Tuma, the Waukesha County director of emergency preparedness, and a review and possible approval of what should be included in a planned internal audit of the county’s 911 system.
County Board Chair Scott McDonell said the public is invited to talk about anything regarding the 911 center, which has come under fire since a call that came from Brittany Zimmermann’s cell phone April 2 was mishandled. Zimmermann was murdered in her downtown apartment right about the time the phone call came in to the 911 center.
