Oh and I am not so sure about the people involved no longer being there. At least the director of operations is still listed on their web site. They updated the executive director already, so I tend to assume the listing is up to date.

a single person dispatch center can't effectively give EMD instructions and dispatch, or if another 911 were to ring, etc.
Its common where a PD or fire unit will call dispatch and be told to wait a second because the dispatcher is on 911. They may be capable of EMD, but they don't do it in practice.

I'm 100% sure none of those three people are employed there anymore.

So you have a dispatch center that makes false calls to show they are more efficient then they are or you have a dispatch center that does not follow the law and provide EMD, thereby not prioritizing calls and not giving informed prearrival medical advice that could save a life.
Single person dispatch centers should not be allowed in a 911 PSAP, but the state choses to allow it.
