City tries to squelch report of NYPD's failed 911 'system'
- Thread starter 69 METS

This was also predicted by a few members on here, long before Mayor Bloomy wanted to admit it.
Lesson learned: "Who do you trust, the Mayor or Politicians of this Great City, OR, a few of the members on this site". It shouldn't take too long for anybody to figure that one out.

b'bag caught again...Judge orders NYC to release review of 911 system
The city could appeal state Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron's decision requiring it to release a taxpayer-funded report and all its drafts.
(AP) - "New York City must release a consultant's review of the city's 911 system and emergency response times that Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration has been fighting to keep private, a civil court judge decided Monday.
Saying his decision stemmed from a belief in open government and transparency, Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron said that the taxpayer-funded consultant's report and all its drafts belong to the people of New York City.
"The city's not the only interest group here. And the city's not infallible," Judge Engoron said after comparing the city's claim that the report should be private to President Richard Nixon's claims of executive privilege during the Watergate scandal."

Emergency system spewing bogus information
Correction Log Sheets dispatching wrong data
By Tina Moore / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

Mayor Bloomberg's administration has argued report on Correction Log Sheets is merely a draft.
"A FIRE UNION has gotten roughly 1,600 complaint reports from its members since early 2009 about bunk info provided to FDNY crews by the city?s revamped 911 system.
The so-called Correction Log Sheets reveal that the drastically over-budget system has dispatched incorrect information that has led to delayed responses and put first-responders in harm?s way.
Sometimes, operators have even sent crews to the wrong type of emergency, landing them at a simple fistfight or a n active burglary rather than a fire.
The documents, collected by the Uniformed Fire Officers Association, highlight problems with the Unified Call Taker network, which was completed earlier this year on a budget that was about $800 million more than expected."

LET ME REPEAT THIS QUOTE .........
It has not only been members of this site complaining about the system, but also supervisors, dispatchers, fire dept members, police dept members, and the citys FDNY/EMS workers.
Now, who should the citizens of the city believe and trust, certainly when it comes to this subject. The Million Dollar Mayor or the average worker who is involved in this type of work every day. Even for myself, honestly I thought well it's just growing pains and things will work out soon. Now I realize I should have trusted the people who know and work the system.

Probe eyes ?fraud? in botched 911 fix
By JOSH MARGOLIN
Posted: 12:15 AM, April 23, 2012
"The city Department of Investigation is probing the Bloomberg administration?s bungled $2 billion overhaul of the 911 emergency-call system for evidence of corruption, fraud and violations of city regulations, The Post has learned.
Agents have focused on the money trail ? such as cost overruns, contract payments and other expenditures ? connected with the Emergency Communications Transformation Project, which actually made the system worse than it was before."

I read this report, or at least the first like 115 pages of it the other night. After finishing the read, all I kept thinking of was Gunnery Sergeant Hartmann in Full Metal Jacket. "Well, No $h!t!!"
The recommendations that came out were really what both the FDNY Dispatchers, and PD PCT's have been saying for the past 3 years. Put it back to the way it was.
