Warren council authorizes negotiations for police dispatching to move to county 911 center

WARREN — Moving Warren’s police dispatching to the Trumbull County 911 Center could begin as soon as Sept. 1 after a vote at tonight's Warren City Council meeting authorizing the city administration to negotiate an agreement with the county.

By a vote of 8-2, council approved a much-debated resolution that will save the city about $400,000 per year compared with the current cost to operate its own dispatching center.

Voting against the measure were Councilmen Dan Sferra and Al Novak, who have consistently voiced their opposition.
