Dane County Supervisor Wyndham Manning is calling for an end to the finger pointing a day after Isthmus reported the bombshell that Brittany Zimmermann had called 9-1-1 and was hung up on the day she was found murdered in her apartment. Manning, newly elected representative of the heavily student populated fifth supervisor district, said the board is working on plans for a full audit of the Dane County 911 Center and Emergency Management.

Yesterday Dane County Public Safety Communications Director Joseph Norwick and Madison Police Chief Noble Wray held dueling press conferences. During his morning conference Norwick said the dispatcher failed to call Zimmermann's number back after hanging up on the call and deemed the call not to be an emergency. Wray foisted blame on the center, "it would be accurate to state that there is evidence contained in the call, which should have resulted in a Madison police officer being dispatched."

Norwick has also come under fire for saying he didn't see any reason to apologize. The result has been a number of bloggers calling for the director to be fired. Manning said, "I wouldn't say he should be fired, but it is time to evaluate the job that he’s doing."

Of the audit, Manning said every year the executive committee can recommend a full audit of certain programs beyond a "simple review." He said the audit would include, "make sure they have resources they need and that the center is following procedures. We want to be sure when people call in they are receiving the service they pay for. We need to make sure we are providing the resources that help the MPD do their job to the best of their ability."

Manning said that the new details are important, but he is also concerned all of the finger pointing is taking away from the real issues. "There are so many variables, we need to find out where the error occurred before we go pointing fingers and that we aren't taking focus away from the matter at hand - the investigation."
