Continuing Problems with Dallas Emergency Dispatch

kybred writes: The new emergency dispatch system in Dallas, Texas has not been getting very good reviews.

From downtime due to operator error

Friday's problems began about 7:30 a.m. when the dispatch system went down. While the system was offline, 911 operators wrote information on cards. Runners took those cards to police and fire dispatchers, who then sent out emergency workers. The system came back online shortly after 10 a.m.

To today's problems with a virus that has been found in the system.

The latest update says that it is still down.
