UA 911 services might merge with Columbus

Currently , Upper Arlington ‘s 911 service can’t receive calls from mobile users. Instead, any cellphone-based call is answered by Columbus dispatchers and then transferred to Upper Arlington. And since 911 calls are a “when every second counts” kind of thing, Upper Arlington is negotiating a merger of their 911 services with Columbus. Aside from the technical improvements, the move would also see faster response times for (cell) callers.

And while this will be an upgrade for Upper Arlington, any 911 services changes wouldn’t take effect for at least a year. (deb)
