D.C. Council Confirms New 911 Director

District of Columbia Council members voted 12-0 to confirm Heather McGaffin as the new director of the Office of Unified Communications. Tuesday’s vote means resolution 25-0115 will be deemed approved June 1 unless another resolution is introduced. The D.C. Council Judiciary and Public Safety Committee supported confirming the current OUC deputy director, at a meeting last week, while saying they want improvements at the 911 center, where recent audits found problems with incorrect addresses, miscommunication and dispatching delays (see 2305090073).
