Evaluation

The Town of Payson Police Department will provide dispatch services in a manner consistent with dispatch services being provided to the Payson Police Department Officers. The Town of Payson will supply twenty-four hours per day, seven days a week dispatching, telephone answering, 911 dispatch services and paging services through its two-way radio communication dispatch center and log all communication. The Town of Payson will provide dispatch services which includes law enforcement information from NCIC/ACJIS in conformance with their guidelines and provide law enforcement information for the enforcement of the County's civil and criminal law and ordinance code.

The County will decrease the Sheriff's Office Dispatch Position Control, six 911 Dispatch positions, and one Dispatch Supervisor to fulfill the requirements of this agreement.
