Framingham City Council Approves Sisitsky Administration’s Regional Police & Fire Dispatch System
FRAMINGHAM - The Framingham City Council last week unanimously approved Mayor Charlie Sisitsky's request to establish a regional 911 emergency communication district between Framingham and Natick for Police and Fire dispatch.
The dispatch center is planned to be situated in the office building next to the Memorial Building on the upper floors.
The City of Framingham purchased 188 Concord Street in March 2023. The Framingham Health Department & Clinic opened on the first floor earlier this spring.
Both communities will collaborate to build and equip the regional 911 emergency communication center.
The Natick Select Board is set to vote on the emergency regional dispatch center plan this week
.
The City Council's unanimous vote empowers the Mayor to finalize all necessary documents, agreements, and actions to establish the emergency 9-1-1 dispatch center for Framingham Fire & Police and Natick Police & Fire.
The Mayor mentioned the potential for other communities to join the center in the future.
Framingham and Natick, the current participating communities, will share the expenses, duties, and responsibilities of constructing, operating, and maintaining the regional municipal 911 emergency communication facility under a forthcoming agreement between the Town of Natick and the City of Framingham.
