And yet ANOTHER reason to secure our southern border & deport ALL Illegal immigrants. From the story ---> Last year, Furey says, the center received 592,425 911 calls in which 4,526, or 0.008 percent, required the use of the language line. Thats 12.4 calls PER DAY just in Wake County! More from the story ---> Spanish is the dominant language for non-English calls – and the call center has several Spanish-speaking dispatchers – but he says the center each year gets calls in as many as 20 different languages, including French, Portuguese, Mandarin, Tigrinya and Arabic and that interpretation needs vary monthly. Fiscally and operationally, the translation service makes sense, he said. The service costs nearly $80,000 a year, the approximate salary of two dispatchers. Its use, Furey says, is a fairly industry-wide practice. Durham County also uses the service. wral/use-of-translation-service-caused-delay-in-carjacking-911-call/13772146/
