Ocean City Renews Effort To Handle Own 911 Calls

OCEAN CITY — Eliminating the need for 911 calls generated in Ocean City to be routed to Snow Hill before being relayed back to the resort’s emergency service providers remains a goal for resort officials.

For years, 911 emergency calls originating in Ocean City have been relayed to Worcester County’s call center in Snow Hill before being sent back to the appropriate emergency service providers in the resort. While the system has worked for the most part and no major lags in response times have been reported over the years, there remains the potential for critical seconds lost.

The issue is certainly not a new one and it was broached again this week during larger discussions on updating the resort’s strategic plan. Ocean City Emergency Services Director Joe Theobald said, by and large, the system does work.

What a joke. Let the professionals at the Worcester County 911 Center do it since the calls are going to them first anyway.

Little Piss A$$ wannabe town and retarded elected wannabes. They can't even handle car enthusiasts that come to their town. They are an embarrassment to all elected officials and public safety agencies.
