Chief Joel Hallstrom braced for a leap of faith.
Since 2019, North Park Fire Protection District depended on Mercyhealth’s Rockcom: the nonprofit’s system dispatched first responders after receiving calls from 911 centers around Winnebago County.
“There’s a bit of a disconnect when the 911 centers have to make a phone call to our dispatch when we were at Rockcom,” said Hallstrom.
