basically what this means is - state pays holbrook to provide dispatch
service for a bunch of towns - the towns fire their dispatchers and
use the money to hire more cops or FFs - so its the state indirectly
hiring more cops and firefighters - no radio channels change hands so
in the operational sense absolutely NOTHING changes - if anything -
dispatch becomes 10X more fragmented as no one can figure out which
dispatcher is covering which area

basically the same number of dispatchers are on duty - there are no
huge gains in efficiency - the police phone still rings off the hook
on friday and saturday nights

prove me wrong - please

as we have said many times before - moving to a countywide 911
dispatch center is much cleaner and more efficient - they could run
all of Norfolk County - (except Quincy) - off 2 radio channels - 1
police and 1 fire/ems - especially with the new fangled MDTs and smart
phones - they could do full boundary drops - response times would
maybe drop in half - dispatcher costs would drop in half - losses
would drop in half - it would be a perfect world

instead we get Proctor and Farwell
