This is only common sense to the importance of local dispatchers to be in the area as they are aware of their neighbors needs and personally able to help us in emergencies.

No way this should even be considered!! You have to live out here to know. Roads with no names or in some cases signs are gone. Back roads on top of back roads. Emergencies need to be gotten too ASAP...

Locally employed staff have better knowledge of how to get places and what to prioritize for their communities. Moving it to a different County means delayed response, lower prioritize response, inability to get service to place that don't have actual address or "cross streets" but directions by mile markers, landmarks, etc. All of this will delay service. Sacrificing Torrance County residence for a contract services take jobs from the community and will compromise "emergency" services.

How could this not be important? This is a very valuable resource that must remain for this rural community.

This is an absolutely horrific idea. This county is rural and needs dispatchers that understand not every road is marked and sometime you have to go by landmarks. You have to know this area, to be able to effectively dispatch in this area!

Why would anyone want to outsource 911/dispatch? That be like having your neighbor answer all your phone calls for you.

Outsourcing our emergency services to another agency is not only stupid, it poses a hazard to every citizen of the county. Response times will sky rocket. We will be dealing with emergency dispatchers that have no familiarity with the county or it's responding agencies.

Sending our dispatch out of county hurts our community they will not know the area like current dispatchers. The county commissioners are literally handing money out to other counties when the move business like this out of outlr area and fail the county more than they already do.
