911 Center Receives AccreditationThe Emergency Communications Department for the city of Rochester and Monroe County received accreditation from the New York State Sheriff's Association.
The 911 center is only the sixth emergency center in the state to achieve that distinction. To do so, the agency had to meet 70 standards developed by experts in the emergency communications field.
"Accreditation is not available for the emergency centers which are merely good. We hope that all emergency communication centers are at least good. It is available, rather, for those agencies which are a cut above, for those agencies that set the standard, set the pace for other agencies to follow. I'm pleased to report the Rochester-Monroe County emergency center is one of those agencies," said Peter Kehoe, of the NYS Sheriff's Association.

As I entered the club, I noticed there was a quarrel taking place between a female security guard and a female patron who was in the process of leaving the establishment.The security guard, from one of the smaller islands (I recognized the island from her accent), was speaking to the patron in a cool voice, telling the female patron that she had to leave. Apparently the female patron seemed very inebriated. I stopped to listen to what was going on (perhaps foolishly so), and came to understand from the content of the conversation, and from onlookers nearby, that the female patron had apparently had too much to drink, and as she was being escorted out by her friend, I understood that the security guard had previously asked her to leave.
