<strong>County</strong>. The City of <strong>Cleveland</strong>’s PSAP currently represents about 60 percent of<br />

all cellular call volume across the <strong>County</strong>. Listed below is a table of call counts<br />

At the time this study was published validation on the accuracy of 2011 CECOMS data could not be obtained. The annual<br />

number of transfers from CECOMS could involve calls transferred to an incorrect city, I.e., a call is transferred to Brook<br />

Park when it should be a <strong>Cleveland</strong> call.<br />
