County eyes consolidation of sheriff
Licking County plans to combine the county sheriff’s dispatch center with the county’s 911 emergency services center.
County commissioner Tim Bubb said he’d spoken with Sheriff Randy Thorp during the past two years about combining the 911 dispatch center with the sheriff’s dispatch center, which is in the basement of the county jail and considered outdated. Thanks to the “gift” of an old corrections center from the state of Ohio, Bubb said, a combined dispatch center will likely be a reality by the end of the year.
