Emergency dispatch services for Clallam and Jefferson counties are getting closer to becoming a regional entity.
Clallam County Peninsula Communications [PenCom] and JeffCom 911 Communications — the 9-1-1 communication dispatch service for Jefferson County — have made small steps to potentially merge together as a consolidated emergency dispatch service, according to Karl Hatton, regional emergency communications director.
“The two counties have talked over the years of a potential merger,” Hatton said, adding there has been talk about regionalization for years.
