NEIDA COUNTY – A handful of radio towers went up in Oneida Co. just over ten years ago to improve emergency communications across the Northwoods. The sheriff’s office is now requesting $3.5 million in capital improvement funds to update those systems.
Emergency management says the county’s E911 center needs a sixth dispatch station among a laundry list of other “necessary” changes.
“There’s more cell phones nowadays, people have more access to call 911,” said Lt. Sherri Congleton with the Oneida Co. Sheriff’s Office.
