A union of 911 operators
has filed a law suit against Nassau County.
This lawsuit was filed last month by the Civil Service Employees
Association because operators were not receiving essential training on how to
handle hostage situations. Lou Stober
was interviewed about the lawsuit.
A lawsuit was first
filed last year, when the county failed to provide state-mandated 21 hours of
classroom training, despite receiving state grants for the training. The suit was dropped by the CSEA after Nassau
County agreed to provide training. The
current suit alleges that Nassau breached the agreement with the union to
provide employees with compensation for the days they were in training.
“Nassau has not
followed through on the terms of the settlement agreement,” Lou Stober said in
his interview.
According to Newsday,
the suit comes more than a year after Hofstra student Andrea Rebello was
accidently shot and killed by a Nassau police officer. Police Benevolent Association President James
Carver has said the 911 call was never transmitted as a hostage situation. In a lawsuit filed against the county in May,
Rebello’s family cited CSEA’s allegations that 911 operators were not trained
for hostage situations.
