CO: 911 goof slows cops' arrival in killing

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Grassroots Information Coordination Center (GICC) : One Thread

GREENWOOD VILLAGE  A 911 glitch
prevented police from responding immediately to
a deadly domestic-violence situation, and
Greenwood Village authorities want to know why.

"It might have made the difference," police Lt.
Dave Fisher told KCNC-TV Channel 4.

Officers were delayed eight minutes because the
apartment's address did not show up on a police
dispatcher's 911 screen.

911 glitch still stymies officials

A woman placed a 911 call to the Adams County
Communications Center this week to find out
whether her data was correct, director Bill
Malone said. "It came in with a number and
street for a building in the complex that was
about a block and a half from her."
