L.A. City Controller Laura Chick is planning Monday to release an audit of the L.A. Fire Department's dispatch operations that recommends saving money by replacing sworn firefighter/dispatchers with (trained) civilians.
Here's the flackery from her office:
City Controller Laura Chick will hold a news conference to release her audit of the Los Angeles Fire Department's staffing of the 911 dispatch centers. The audit reviews areas for opportunities for efficiencies and evaluates the possibility of using more civilians as call takers rather than sworn firefighters.
Monday, April 24th, 10:30 a.m., Controller's Office, City Hall East,
200 North Main Street, Suite 300.
