Family finds flaws with 911 response
Todd Bosley, a Nimishillen Township trustee, says the mix-up isn’t the first to happen in the county. He points to the at least four botched 911 calls within the past two years. In two of those, people died.
County officials point out 911 operators fielded more than 115,000 last year alone.
Bosley says, “911 is broken.”cantonrep.com:

Mr. Bosley is fast becoming the consumate political opportunist, he is looking for a hot topic so that he can challenge Mr. Regula for county commissioner next year. On the surface it appears that Mr. Bosley is showing some compassion for those folks that have suffered as the result of possible 9-1-1 work; but the underlying is that Nimishillen Township is desperate to get a dispatch center to handle these calls, and to accomplish this they need to make it appear that the system is broken.Mr. Bosley needs it for political ambitions so he would have you think it is broken. Every system has flaws and is prone to human error and it truly is unfortunate, but will fixing it make it more accurate than 99.9999827%? (230,000 calls handled over 2 years with 4 serious problems)According to the 9-1-1 transcript, when Mr. Mullett was asked his location he provided Louisville, not Nimishillen Township, granted he was in a panic, but this caused the dispatch to send the wrong units. It would be an outstanding idea for the Nimishillen Fire Department to go beat on each and every door on an annual basis and hand out magnets and educate folks that when they call 9-1-1 to indicate they are in the township, not Louisville.
Finally it is also my understanding the township could buy an $80,000 piece of equipment to remedy this situation, but if they did this (along with every other entity in the county) there would be no need for the proposed dispatch center, and Mr. Bosley wouldn't have a topic to run his campaign on
Todd Bosley runs several Chinese imported goods businesses, in the heart of Stark County, which has lost thousands of manufacturing jobs. And he runs as a Democrat seeking to create jobs? And he says he's honest? And what about his conflict of interest in steering his lawyers his township's legal work?
