Public Safety leadership will evaluate both of these requests and <br />report back on them. <br /> <br />On September 10, Deputy Director Hamdorf attended a meeting of Ramsey County Fire <br />Chiefs to review responses using the agreed-upon closest unit dispatching protocols that <br />sends the nearest fire apparatus to a confirmed structure fire regardless of jurisdiction. <br />Based on data provided from the Emergency Communications Center, the effort is <br />working as designed, with neighboring agencies arriving first or simultaneously with the <br />home city department to these emergencies. <br /> <br />The Ramsey County Traffic Safety Initiative was awarded $619,830.00 for the 2019 <br />Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) Enforcement Grant from the Office of Traffic Safety for the <br />Federal Fiscal Year 2019 to create safer roadways throughout Ramsey County <br />collaboratively by raising public awareness and enforcing all traffic regulations.
