Jason, who presented the 9-1-1 quarterly report, told the committee the dispatch center continues to manage high call volumes while pursuing mental-health training for staff.
He said average ring time was 5.6 seconds, average talk time 94 seconds, and that dispatchers handled roughly 304 calls during a recent daytime shift window; the report recorded 646 incoming text messages and 103 outgoing texts year-to-date. Jason said two dispatcher openings remain and that training—including a mental-health course at Wayne State University—is a priority. The committee voted to receive the report.
