This transition came with the angst of the unknown <br />and of change itself. However, i can attest that we transitioned without missing a <br />beat. <br />The professionalism that the staff at CVD has displayed has been outstanding. They <br />have been decisive and responsive to our needs at the operational and administrative <br />levels. There have been critical incidents in which f received an e-mail with the <br />original 9-1-1 call that came into the center before arriving on the scene. Not only <br />have they been responsive, but they anticipate our needs. Nick DiCicco and the team <br />that he has assembled are consummate professionals. <br />Our communities expect and deserve high standards from our Safety Forces, <br />including call -takers and dispatchers. It has been my experience that CVD meets that <br />standard of service. I have no regrets about our decision to transfer our 9-1-1 center <br />to CVD and recommend them without reservation. <br />Respectfully, _�p <br />4z �O <br />Joe Mays <br />Chief of Police <br />South Euclid Police Department <br />1349 South Green Road • South Euclid, Ohio 44 12 1-3 98 5 • (216) 691-4252 • Fax (216) 38 1-2074 <br />
