A financial study requested by Waterford trustees shows the township could save $631,000 in 2016 by contracting dispatch services with Oakland County Sheriff, but dispatchers and police pointed out that dispatchers do more than just handle emergency calls.
A standing-room-only crowd of supporters which included Waterford police and firefighters turned out for a Waterford trustees workshop to review dispatching services costs. Trustees stressed the study was to gain knowledge for budget work.
