Quispamsis and Rothesay are moving their 911 dispatch centre to Saint John starting next year. Mike Brennan is the Town Administrator for Quispamsis and says the province is passing new legislation that would make keeping the centre in the Valley extremely expensive.
Brennan says 911 calls from the Valley go directly to Saint John as it is, and then are sent to the Valley centre after the fact. He says by using one centre it will eliminate that extra step.
