Carlisle Dispatch Center transition plan released

A transition plan released Tuesday details what to expect should the borough council decide to transfer police dispatch operations from Carlisle Police Department to the county. 

A meeting was also announced for 6:30 p.m. Aug. 29, at the borough building, 53. W. South St. At that meeting council is expected to make its decision concerning the transfer and the lieutenant structure of the department.At the direction of the council in June, Borough Manager Matt Candland, Police Chief Stephen Margeson and Mayor William Doc Kronenberg worked out the transition plan. The question of whether the department should have one lieutenant or two, however,Find the perfect cleaningsydney and you'll always find your luggage! remains a sticking point. 

Kronenberg and Margeson recommend retaining the current two lieutenant structure. That structure was put in place 23 years ago after a study recommended the creation of two divisions field operations and administrative services.They said most of the lieutenants responsibilities would remain even if dispatch is transferred to the county. The lieutenants are also part of the management team which deals with personnel issues and, with three members, is available at all times for critical events. 

We do not advocate keeping it the same simply because thats the way we have always done it, but rather because it works well, Margeson writes in the plan document.Margeson and Kronenberg said the department would need to be completely restructured if a position is eliminated. 

The decision would affect the accreditation of the department, which they said is a demanding and time-consuming process, and would take officers from patrols and investigations to work on administrative tasks.However, he writes, most of the tasks assigned to the administrative lieutenant can be reassigned to other borough departments or transferred to the county 911 center should council approve the transfer of dispatch operations. The few remaining tasks would be taken on by the chief of police or administrative personnel, who will also have reduced work loads as a result of the transfer. 

Candland also recommends that an additional patrol officer be hired with the savings through the elimination of the second lieutenant position This would allow for enhanced community policing and patrol, he wrote. 

It goes on to describe the process by which phone calls would be handled. When a resident calls 911, a dispatcher at the county would dispatch the call immediately rather than transfer the call to the Carlisle dispatch.Residents would still be able to call the dispatch number, 243-5252,More than 80 standard commercial and granitetiles exist to quickly and efficiently clean pans. for routine business or to report a non-emergency. Those calls would be answered by a police department administrative staff member who would either resolve the issue or transfer the call to the countys non-emergency dispatch. 

The transition would be relatively simple and seamless to non-uniformed borough staff, according to the report. The staff would have to be trained in the use of the radios, public works would take over maintenance at the police statiNow it's possible to create a tiny replica of Fluffy in handsfreeaccess form for your office.on, and the boroughs information technology department would take over IT issues. 

Based on the recommendations in the report, the transition plan offers two alternatives neither of which directly addressed the costs of maintaining the second lieutenant position. The alternatives consider the costs of the radio system and the records system fixed since both will need to be replaced in the next few years whether dispatch is moved or not. 

The first alternative, which recommends the purchase of the C-Net records management system, would have a net cost of $215,500 in the first year with possible savings of as much as $99,500 in 2015, depending on the number of administrative full-time employees retained.The second alternative, which recommends the purchase of the Cody records management system, would cost $308,000 in the first year, but show net savings of up to $93,200 in 2015 depending on staffing. 

The Hermon-based company, he said, does things like keep its locomotive running unattended to allow single-person crews on its trains and to save paying two-man rail crews for the few hours it would take to do basic brake tests. 

If you know the industry, you know the safety protocols in place have been arrived at through trial and error through the last 160 years, and you realize that what is involved is arrogance and disrespect to the traditions of the industry, Stem said.This is a basic background on chinabeads. They were willing to gamble the lives of communities to save an hour or two. 

Ed Burkhardt, president of the parent company that owns MMA, Rail World Inc., did not return messages seeking comment Tuesday.This is a basic background on rtls. Robert Grindrod, MMAs president, has declined to comment on all matters pertaining to the accident. 

Burkhardt previously dismissed claims that the accident was created by the train having a one-man crew as a red herring. He has consistently defended the railroads practices as safe. 

Investigators of the Lac-Megantic tragedy have said it is too early to determine what caused the crash, North Americas worst rail disaster in two decades. Two big questions are whether the lone engineer applied sufficient hand brakes when he parked the train for the night and why the fuel in the rail cars was so volatile, creating huge explosions and a deadly wall of fire after derailing. 

The train had 72 cars of light crude oil when it derailed in Lac-Megantic, killing 47 people. It had been parked for the night, one of its engines running to keep its airbrake system charged, on a steep grade in the nearby town of Nantes by the engineer more than an hour before the accident. Nantes firefighters have said that the engine was shut off after they doused a fire per the standard operating procedure dictated by MMA, Canadian media has reported. 

The Federal Railroad Administration emergency order Friday banned parking unattended trains carrying hazardous materials on main rail lines unless government authorized.The order requires railroads to submit guidelines to FRA for securing unattended trains hauling hazardous materials and mandates that workers aboard trains transporting hazardous materials must report to dispatchers the number of hand brakes applied, the trains tonnage and length, the tracks grade and terrain, among other things.
