911 Directors Want to Restrict Access to “Traumatic” 911 Recordings

An audio version of this story

The president of the Georgia 911 Directors Association wants to change the state’s Open Records Act to restrict access to 911 tapes that might upset the people who hear them.

Greg Whitaker is also director of Douglas County E-911, and he says the idea to limit access came from the 2009 Douglasville floods in which several people died.
