    In Portland 911 is it's own bureau.

    https://www.portlandoregon.gov/911/

    911 is for medical, fire, and police. Having dispatchers not under the control of the police seems like a good thing to me.

    Didn't realize dispatch made up 50% of the budget.

    I think it's obvious that it doesn't, lol.

    Tweet refers to one part of the plan.

    And if it does all the more reason to take it was from the police, lol.

    Found the Seattle Times article that tweet was based on.

    The Police Department’s budget is $409 million this year...

    The Police Department’s call center already is staffed almost exclusively by civilian dispatchers, rather than sworn officers, and has an annual budget of about $36 million

    https://www.seattletimes.com/seattl...e-911-response-dispatchers-out-of-department/


    Even if they move 911 I don't see how they can cut half the police budget. But hey, it's low hanging fruit and it makes it look like the politicians are doing something.

    I enjoyed the podcast you sent me awhile ago. Man, that police chief dude from Camden, NJ rocked it!

    I'm honestly trying to understand why that would have ANY impact at all... In almost all cases, the 911 dispatchers are all civilians.
