communities safer.
���� In today’s edition:
���� Enhancing communication between dispatch and the RTCC
���� Aligning RTCC operations with agency strategic goals
����� Cobb County’s evolution from RTCC pilot to full-scale powerhouse
We encourage you to check out our full collection of RTCC content, and consider how technology impacts the effectiveness and efficiency of
