Craighead on countywide dispatcher


question: 
Do you think there should be a countywide dispatch center? Why? And if so, should it be mandatory that cities such as Hanford and Corcoran join?
answer: 

It would be nice to have fire, ambulance and police/sheriff into a common and compatible dispatch system, but because of different terminology this might be hard to do. If we could integrate this into a centralized facility this would terminate many problems occurred. The dispatching of one or another unit would have to come from just one source. Again the would be cost efficient means of using government money
