Executive Summary

A year ago, the Police Chiefs and the First Chiefs from Missouri City, Stafford and Sugar Land met to discuss common issues with Public Safety Dispatch.  The agreement from all department heads was the response for Police and Fire incidents would be more effective if the cities considered a joint Public Safety Telephone Answering and Radio Dispatching operation.  This year, the Sugar Land Police and Fire Department have asked for a management project for the consolidation of these functions with area cities.  Assistant City Manager Steve Griffith and Public Safety Dispatch Manager Shannon Price will present a status on this management project.  We will discuss the parameters of a proposed consolidation study and ask for City Council input to move forward with the engineering study.
