OUC document appears to contradict recent statement from acting deputy mayor
3 weeks ago
DC 911’s own document again casts doubt on the agency’s official reporting of staff mistakes. The document is supposed to list all errors that hinder emergency operations, but it doesn’t. It’s missing most of the mistakes clearly documented last year by STATter911. The paperwork further backs up an earlier STATter911 report questioning 911 center data submitted to the DC Council. Before diving into those details, let’s first address some new mistakes and issues at DC 911. ....
