Comment by Chip Zehner on March 2, 2009 at 5:12pm: We are going thru one now. Just wondering if anyone else had any first hand info.

Comment by rfdjumper on March 2, 2009 at 2:51pm: Chip,

Did you read the article in the Jan/Feb 2009 International Fire Fighter magazine, page 17 "Beware of PSO's"? What I got out of this article is that ICMA, which is led by former city manager Leonard Materese, background is in the Police service. ICMA primary recommendation will be to combine police and fire into a single Public Safety Officer system.
