NT police union pushes for independent dispatch center

NIAGARA COUNTY, N.Y. (WIVB)- Niagara County consolidated most of it’s emergency communication in 2012. The county now dispatches for ten police departments, two fire departments, and all volunteer fire services in the area.
Sheriff James Voutour told News 4 the consolidation has generally been a good thing; it’s expanded municipalities access to one another and had made communication better, he said.
The City of North Tonawanda’s police union sees it very differently.
