1959
TITLE
Police Communications Center dispatch consolidation discussion
SUMMARY
The City of Winter Springs currently maintains its own Communications
Center responsible for police dispatching and emergency phone calls. The
WSPD is the only municipal department in the county whose police
dispatching services are not consolidated and handled by the Seminole
County Sheriff's Office.
In order to determine the best course of action for the city, and to maintain
and enhance the consistency of services we provide to our community, the
police department staff and City Manager desire to engage the Commission in
discussions relative to this topic.
RECOMMENDATION
Police Department staff requests the Commission to approve the City
Manager and City Attorney to enter into negotiations with the Seminole
County Sheriff's Office to determine the terms of the dispatch
Communications Center consolidation proposal and contractual terms
relative to those services.
