USA--Trumbull County dispatchers will have a better way to pinpoint wireless 911 emergency calls. County commissioners plan to approve legislation to allow the 911 center to buy a mapping system from a Columbus company.
The purchase was made possible by a ruling from Judge John M. Stuard of common pleas court, who said it was permissible for the county to proceed with the purchase. The purchase had been delayed by a lawsuit filed by several county government bodies against the county over the use of fees being charged to wireless phone customers.
When the map is complete, it will be accessible to all county dispatching centers, as well as other individuals and organisations. It will be paired with dispatching computers to give dispatchers an address to correspond with the location of a cell phone.
