Description	Calhoun County recently implemented a county wide dispatch system for Police, Fire and Ambulance service. This has resulted in a cost savings to the municipalities and also increases back-up and response times for emergency personnel. The citizens in Calhoun County need only dial 9-11 and the dispatch center will send the appropriate agency and equipment to the scene in the shortest amount of time. Update- December 2013 The Consolidated dispatch Authority has implemented a system for paying for services that has adversely affected our Village. It is our hope that a ballot question can be set for August or November of 2014 to change the method of paying to a phone surcharge to make it more equitable for everyone.
