Village flips the switch to joint dispatch, and that means a few changes took place.
People needing the police for a non-emergency will need to remember to call the new phone number. For emergencies call 911, nothing has changed.

They still report to the Village Hall at 6922 Nicholson Road. But this spring the dispatchers will move from Caledonia to what will become known as the Racine Communications Center and they will have a new home.
