- Hundreds of thousands of dollars were wasted, employees were placed on hidden payrolls and notebook computers went missing at the city department that oversees the city 911 center, according to an audit released today by Inspector General Joseph Ferguson. All of those issues occurred because “internal controls were not adequate to prevent waste and misconduct,” according to the audit of the Office of Emergency Management and Communication, which also oversees the city’s 311 call center.
The audit alleges a series of costly errors, saying some have been addressed while others still need attention
