County embraces expanded 911 dispatch service

The County Board agreed last week to have the Ozaukee County Sheriff’s Office take over dispatching for the Village of Grafton.

While the transfer of calls was a controversial matter for the village, the County Board on May 2 approved the decision, 23-0-1, with Supr. Patrick Marchese abstaining.

The Sheriff’s Office began handling 911 calls for the Village of Grafton on April 24 — the first phase of the dispatching transfer.
