POSTED: 9: 58 pm MST on December 13, 2010UPDATED: 8: 57 am MST 14 December 2010 AURORA, Colo. — when James Lohman heard a woman screaming to her apartment, is in action. Has caught a pistol to my Office and took off to see if I could help of ?I ? said Lohman. He obtained outside of just in time for anyone who has been tackled player women's offshore. The woman was nowhere occurs, he called 911 on his cell phone. His appeal went to the emergency call centre in Arapahoe County. ?The operator asked me what was my address and I gave to her ? Lohman said it. ?She said, ?Do you know what the town it?s in? ?, I said to my address in Denver, Arapahoe County. ? Lohman explained the confusion by saying simply, he moved into a new apartment is Wyoming Place and Loisiana Drive. This apartment is in Aurora, but a Denver mailing address. The operator transmitted Arapahoe County call center of Denver 911 emergency. An operator, he told her that he wasn?t Denver?s jurisdiction and attempted to pass in Arapahoe County. ?I him in Arapahoe County forwarded me to Denver, ? said Lohman. Then, two operators spoke with each other and said, ?It could be Aurora ? ?By era, I was frustrated, ? Lohman said 7NEWS. ?It was near 5 ½ minutes before they me by Aurora police corrected. That?s. unacceptable ? 911 records at the expedition in Arapahoe County show that waiting is more than four minutes. However, the Aurora man said it is too long. Lohman, as many people think that if you provide an address, the software shows automatically which court is responsible for. 7NEWS found that is not necessarily the case, because there is no universal database. Expedition ?Every Centre runs independently, ? said Carl Simpson, Executive Director of the Denver 911 Center. Simpson said taxpayers paid for their system has addresses Denver, Denver and that taxpayers paid for their system, which addresses Aurora Aurora. ?It?s the same for the County of Arapahoe, ?, he added. Simpson said Denver system includes some, but not all, Aurora addresses which are close to the border of Denver. Head of Denver said 911 operators are familiar with major limitations such as Sheridan, boulevard, which divides Lakewood Denver, but are both with nook and cranny of Lohman?s apartment. When asked why Denver, Aurora and Arapahoe County don?t share their databases, Simpson said that the software and hardware are different. ?Regrettably, none of this is standard throughout the State, ?, he said. Lohman incredible that?s, said that in 2010. ? Lohman said ?I can get on my cell phone and know where I am in a few seconds. ?Why can?t an emergency operator to do the same thing? ? ?Who?s expected for us when we need it, and why is it a problem to help police here? ? requested Lohman. When asked what should be a universal database that would show whose competence is responsible for all addresses, Simpson has responded ?I?d say there should be an initiative communication centres to ship any the same lease. ? but one such system may present other problems. ?If you have a single dispatch, said ? Simpson, ?you can operate in a situation where a resident in a community called for is to complain about a dog barks and the operator must know what cities would send an officer in response and what cities would not be. It might be confusing. ?, what he said that some communities might be reluctant to relinquish their ?custom tailored? response to emergency calls. Simpson said that the dramatic increase in the use of cell phones also affects response 911. ?Seventy four per cent of all in the center of Denver 911 emergency calls arrive on cell phones, ? Simpson said. ?Cell phone numbers are changing all the time. Displacement autour and very difficult to keep our own database up to date. it?s ? when it asked what people can do to help emergency responders, Simpson said: ?Know where you are and know where you live. ? He says that?s particularly important for people living near municipal boundaries. ? He repeated ?Know what city you live in. ?That?s. the most important thing ? what follows are the comments of our users. The opinions expressed are not created or endorsed by TheDenverChannel.com.
