WARREN — County officials have selected a new plan to handle emergency 911 calls, however, the plan has made certain members of law enforcement anything but happy.
Representatives of the Trumbull County 911 Planning Committee voted 3-2 on Tuesday to accept a plan put forth by Michael Dolhancryk, the county’s 911 director. Committee members Newton Falls Mayor Patrick Layshock and Niles Mayor Ralph Infante opposed it.
Committee members county Commissioner Daniel Polivka, Johnston Township Trustee Donald Barzak and Warren Mayor Michael O’Brien supported the new plan.
The county was under some pressure to approve a plan and submit it to the state by Dec. 31 in order to use $1.5 million for service upgrades being held in escrow.
