Individual or entity requesting this appropriation:	Downriver Community Conference
Value to Michigan’s 15th Congressional District and the American taxpayer:
The 18 communities of the Downriver Mutual Aid want to better coordinate emergency dispatch services by using the same call-taking system. One community already uses the system, and has demonstrated the system for the others. There is consensus that this system will work well for all, and that there is great benefit to be derived from all departments using the same system.
