However, I did read somewhere that they would like to have it up and running by the end of 2010, that is if they can scrape up the money with projected city budget shortfalls. |
MPSCS is being looked at, but like you said...budget is a big problem now. Theyve been looking at MPSCS since 2004 i believe, but at this point i dont think anything is set in stone. Livonia has been trying to merge dispatches for a while...first with farmington hills, now canton. i think its a good idea and they should follow through. Farmington Hills has already proved it possible with dispatching both Farmington hills PD and FD, along with Franklin PD. Either way, it saves money and gets the job done.
