Summary
Council Member Gunn asked whether Troy's own dispatchers could dispatch Star EMS ambulances directly instead of transferring 911 calls, potentially shaving time off responses. Staff explained it would require full medical-dispatcher certification, ongoing training, and radio upgrades, and that few agencies in Michigan dispatch private EMS companies.

Impact analysis
Not quantified — training all dispatchers and building radio interoperability would cost money but no figure was given.
Residents calling 911 could see slightly faster ambulance dispatch if the transfer step is eliminated.
