The Clearfield City Dispatch Center is now combined with the Layton City Dispatch Center. Combining the two dispatch centers increases the efficiency of public safety communications in Davis County, and allows the city to have six dispatchers available each shift instead of two.
What changed?
Why?
This change will increase the efficiency of public safety communications in Davis County. It also allows the city to have six dispatchers available per shift instead of two, and will lessen the amount of mis-routed calls between cities in the area.
This change is the beginning of a larger plan to consolidate local dispatch centers in Davis County.
When?
What else?
Clearfield City Council passed an agreement with Layton City to provide public safety dispatch for Clearfield City. The agreement outlined the dispatch service fees, employee sick leave and vacation leave options, and created an advisory board consisting of members of Clearfield City, Layton City, and the North Davis Fire District.
This move is part of a larger plan to consolidate local dispatch centers in Davis County. In late 2022, Layton City decided to build a new 911 dispatch center large enough to provide dispatch services to all agencies within the entire county. Clearfield dispatchers will benefit to this state-of-the-art facility once it is built.
