Hamilton County commissioners Thursday gave final approval to taking over 911 dispatching for the city of Norwood. County Administrator Jeff Aluotto says they’ve been working to de-fragment the county's emergency communication system.
"Norwood was one of three remaining public safety answering points in the county," Aluotto told commissioners Thursday. "With this contact we will be down to two: Hamilton County and the areas that we serve, and the city of Cincinnati."
Aluotto says the transition is a huge policy accomplishment for the county. The change takes effect Monday.
Norwood City Council approved the deal earlier this month.
