Point made on outstanding 'inhouse' emergency dispatchers
Cindy Manestar (my alderman) sent the following e- just now. Remember the Kirkwood City Hall killings? Well...
12:17 PM For all of you that were present at the board of alderman meeting last night...do you remember when the mysterious red phone rang and the mayor answered? Well mystery solved! The individual on the other end was non other than one of our Brentwood dispatchers. He was calling from the dispatch center in Brentwood to let the mayor know that he was "watching over the meeting and providing security." He went on the say, "We watch all the meetings and in the event of another Kirkwood like situation... we the dispatchers are the ones who would provide the resources for the safety and security of the Board of Alderman and citizens of the City of Brentwood." He then asked the Mayor if "ECDC would provide this service to the Board and Citizens." So mystery solved. The Brentwood Dispatch has a live feed from the police department to City Hall and can monitor any and all meetings that take place in council chambers. Just one more layer of security and personal service they provide!
THANK YOU ALD. MANESTAR AND EMS DISPATCHERS IN BRENTWOOD. WE NEED Y O U.
