SEATTLE — The Seattle City Council has voted to move 911 dispatch control from the police department to a new civilian-led call center.
The ordinance, which was approved Monday by a vote of 7-0, will transfer 140 positions from the Seattle Police Department’s (SPD) 911 dispatch center to the new Community Safety and Communications Center, according to a staff memo.
Most 911 dispatchers are not sworn officers.
