Ramsey County Consolidated Dispatch Center Update
TO:
FROM:
At the monthly Sheriffs police service group meeting on September 18, a brief report regarding
the consolidated dispatch center was provided. The Sheriff continues to be pleased that
additional call-taker staffing will be added. The Sheriff also continues to be concerned with how
the process of communication between the call-takers and the dispatchers is working. As
indicated in an earlier update, the County Administrator believes it is premature to make
substantial changes to the operation, in relation to the call-takers and dispatchers, while they are
still staffing up, and all staff are still getting used to the operation. He indicated that they will be
open to looking at changes once they have some experience with the center at full staffing.
