Representative Robert Lancia (R-Dist. 16, Cranston) spoke to hosting a summit for first responders on March 19, in order to raise awareness about the issues facing Rhode Island’s E-911 system and to discuss possible solutions, when he appeared on GoLocal LIVE.
The event, which will take place 6-8pm at the Cranston Central Library, will feature Federal Communications Commission officials from Washington, D.C. as well as members of the Rhode Island Police Chiefs Association, Rhode Island Fire Chiefs, as well as officials from the Rhode Island Medical Society.
“I am very excited to sit down with our state’s first responders about this issue. These men and women are out there every day keeping us safe, but without a properly funded 911 system, their job becomes much more difficult. I want to give them a chance to share their insights and look for solutions outside of the state house,” said Lancia, who has been a staunch critic of his finding that the majority of the revenue intended to fund the 911 system has been diverted into the state’s general fund.
