New law could air disputed 911 calls

Bucks County officials have refused to release recordings of two 911 calls that might have been mishandled in the days after dispatchers botched a fire call and a Doylestown woman died.

The state Right to Know Law — the current one and a pending new law — allows county officials to turn down any request to release the recordings.

But the new law signed Feb. 14 and due to take effect in January will enable citizens to get a court order to compel county officials to release the recordings.

“I would hope that the agency would consider the new law and the intent of the Legislature, and not wait for the new law to take effect in January 2009,” said Melissa Melewsky, an attorney with the Pennsylvania Newspaper Association. “I think the Legislature has been extraordinarily clear with what they wanted.”

Brenda Orr, a 53-year-old Doylestown woman who suffered from multiple sclerosis, died in a fire in her bedroom the morning of Jan. 29. When she called 911, the phone rang six times — during which 27 seconds elapsed — and she was put on hold for another 27 seconds. Police and fire officials said after the fire that they would have had a better chance of saving her if they’d had that extra minute.

Just four days later, Mike McGinley, a Central Bucks East High School senior who had dislocated his elbow during a wrestling match, waited about 20 minutes for an ambulance after spectators called 911. The dispatcher who took the first 911 call had sent the ambulance to Central Bucks West. Austin Dutton, the caller, said he clearly told the dispatcher where to send the ambulance and even provided some directions.

Another 10 days later — two weeks after Brenda Orr’s call, a dispatcher hung up on a Warminster nursing home activity aide when he called to report that a nursing home resident had fallen off her chair and was having seizures.

County officials have admitted the calls were mishandled.

But the exact details of each call cannot be confirmed without the 911 recordings. So there’s no way of knowing just how the calls were handled.

“In general, there is really no better way for the public to evaluate whether its emergency services system is working adequately than to listen to the tapes, determine whether the people answering are professionals, and how quickly they’re answering,” said Lucy Dalglish, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.

The Reporters Committee tracks open records laws across the country and advocates for expansion of those laws to include more documents and records.

Fifteen states consider 911 recordings or transcripts to be public records, according to the committee’s Open Government Guide. Another 18 states and Washington, D.C., consider 911 recordings open records, but allow government agencies to withhold them to protect an individual’s health records or if they are part of an ongoing investigation. And nine states have no provisions in their laws regarding 911 recordings, and determine whether the recordings should be released on a case-by-case basis.
