There’s a been a change recently in the work schedules of dispatchers at the Mt. Carmel Police Department. Police Chief Mike McWilliams told the city council this week, that manpower is being shifted to where it’s needed most, primarily between 12 noon and 8pm. McWilliams said that’s when MCPD receives the majority of their calls. During those busy times, there will be two dispatchers on duty handling calls. During non-peak times, there’ll be just one dispatcher.
