BOONE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Town leaders are upset about Appalachian State University’s plans to create a 911 call center on campus.
Boone officials held an emergency meeting to discuss the proposal Friday. Local leaders say the university’s plan could slow response time during emergencies because the proposed 911 center would not have the capability to dispatch fire and rescue teams directly. The center would instead have to transfer 911 calls to dispatch emergency responders to the scene.
