Fayetteville Mayor Mitch Colvin is concerned about a bill that would consolidate 911 services in Cumberland County. The bill, introduced by state legislators, would allow the county to merge the county and city’s dispatch centers.
Concerns Over Public Safety
Colvin said he was not consulted before the bill was produced and is worried that the consolidation would lead to rushed public safety services. He wants to ensure that all stakeholders, including Fort Bragg, are in alignment before a decision is made.
Colvin supports the consolidation but wants to include input from fire, police, and emergency medical teams. He expects lots of meetings to come over the topic.
