Over Mother’s Day weekend of 2019, the public safety radio system, which enables the 911 call center to communicate with police, fire, ambulances, and other users, experienced a significant system disruption that dropped multiple channels. Officials say the system is 17 years old and well past its 2009 end-of-life date. Watch the meeting live on YouTube here.
