@colinbarge Hi Colin - Apologies, I’m late in seeing this today. My team will touch base with GCWW next week and you’ll hear back from us or them.

Not only does our Cincy911 team answer your emergency calls, but they also make sure first responders in the field are safe. 911 Dispatcher Maranda exemplified just that when she initiated additional police assistance when she could not make contact with a @CincyPD officer.

August 17th, 1988, was the first day Cincinnatians could dial 9-1-1 in an emergency. To learn more about calling 911 and the history of 911 and public safety in Cincinnati: cincinnati-oh.gov/ecc/about-ecc/…

@winemedineme @JamesBonsall @cghuelsman @311Cincy Communication if a pickup is delayed is still an issue; we @311Cincy don't always have visibility to that info either, and it's needed. Wish I had a better answer on that now, but just wanted to let you know we're pushing for improvements on it.

@cghuelsman @311Cincy Hi @cghuelsman -Frustrations heard loud and clear, and we at @311Cincy are working on addressing internally. Inspector gave bad guidance. I'm frustrated, too. Your engagement and drive to get things reported and fixed is appreciated. Feel free to DM if you'd like my contact info.

One day I'll release a tell-all book about my time reporting at Cincinnati City Hall. Chapter One: My definitive ranking of department heads based on how clearly they speak into the microphone in council chambers.

Meet one of our 911 Dispatchers, Anna! Anna recently helped a caller give CPR instructions to her family for her younger brother, who was not breathing. Because of Anna's ability to calmly deliver CPR instructions, the family was able to provide care before paramedics arrived.

@becca_costello @311Cincy I’ll pass along to the team that supports the app. Are you using iOS or Android? Safe to assume on latest version of the app?

@311Cincy I just tried to use the app and had the same problem: I enter all requested info, hit "submit," the app crashes, and when I open it back up there's no record of my request. This time I submitted the request on 311Cincy.com and it was easy and quick (like the hotline).

Just tried to use the @311Cincy app for the first time First, this screen confused me because the answer to the question is "no" but when you check that box it turns to "yes" which is wrong... Then when I hit "submit" the app closed and didn't register my service request

@becca_costello @311Cincy That is the worst screen in the app. It confuses me every time. Second worst is the modal window that says not to close it until the issue is received (a user shouldn't know or care about that process). Third worst is figuring out how to choose the map location for the request.

@becca_costello @311Cincy Glad calling went well! I’ll check in with the app team and see if that UI can be improved. The existing Fix It Cincy app was simply rebranded for 311Cincy but there are app improvements ahead.

I ended up calling 311 instead and got it reported within 2 minutes. It was super easy to do. Thanks @311Cincy! The app problem may have been on my end, but I do think the weird presentation on that screen is confusing.

Good morning from City Hall. Council's Public Safety & Governance Committee is starting now. First on the agenda: a presentation with an update on the pilot program Alternative Response to Crisis. Background: wvxu.org/health/2022-05…

The ARC pilot has been extended and is going well, connecting people to services rather than sending police for crises that are not a law enforcement issue. This is freeing up our police officers to respond where they are needed elsewhere. From🎥@wcpo: wcpo.com/news/local-new…

We've launched a new #CincyInsights dashboard to track the progress of the new @Cincy911 Alternative Response to Crisis (ARC) team! Check it out the responses by neighborhood, time of day, call type, and more at insights.cincinnati-oh.gov/stories/s/Alte…

A Cincinnati agency says large investors are taking some of the most affordable homes off the market, exacerbating the racial wealth gap. Now it's helping its new tenants buy the homes themselves. n.pr/3FXOroT
