And it's not necessary to have integrated services, to have a 911
service. Here in Oakland, the police department administers the
service, but the dispatchers also directly handle EMS and fire calls.

For clarity, the integrated service I was referring to is the integrated
handling of 911, not a merging of the Police/EMS/Fire departments.
