I was an original member of the committee responsible for the creation of the Heights Hillcrest Communication Center which is now a part of CVD. The decision to merge our individual centers into a single agency was fraught with difficulty and resistance, however, I am grateful that we persevered. The decision to create the center allowed our agencies to create a far more effective dispatch center with the ability to cover shifts, train at a high level, and operate with our mutual/automatic aid partners without the usual built In delays Yourdecision to join CVD will allow your agencies to see many of the same benefits, although at an even higher level than ever before based on experience gained over time by the CVD family. The greatest benefit is the ability to very quickly place units from mutual and automatic aid agencies on scene in your jurisdiction. In the past, this was done by calling each agency individually and hoping that we could obtain the equipment needed. The delays created from this system have been eliminated and we always know that we will have a full compliment of apparatus at each emergency. Nick DiCicco has impressed me with his leadership and ability to effectively manage multiple locations and the personnel associated with each center. Problems very seldom arise and are always quickly and efficiently addressed. Joining CVD will improve your ability to serve your residents. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Sincerely, Lb Chief Dave Freeman (216) 291-2672 dfreema Lclevelandheights.gov
