It’s sad when people who hold that in- formation in their archives can’t protect you.” The IRS issued a con- sumer alert March 1 warn- ing of a phishing scheme where scammers purport to be company executives requesting information on employees. “This is a new twist on an old scheme using the cover of the tax season and W-2 ilings to try tricking people into sharing per- sonal data,” IRS Com- missioner John Koskinen said in a statement. “Now the criminals are focusing their schemes on company payroll departments.” The alert stated the new phishing scheme was part of a 400-percent surge in phishing and malware incidents this tax season.

Palmer said he too would like to keep local dispatch. He said he recommended the center in Gilliam Coun- ty because he has been told the state will be implement- ing nine regional dispatch centers in the state with- in the next five years or so. “I understand the desire to keep it local — I would like that as well — but I think with us looking at going to regionalization ... I would rather be able to pick where we go instead of who we get stuck with,” he said. Palmer said he would provide the information about regionalization to the court. Myers said the county should be able to get a quote for dispatch costs from Frontier without a letter of support. He said the county would review this information be- fore signing the contract re- newal with the city. On Friday, Myers said Palmer provided a one-page map that showed the current dispatch centers and poten- tial regions in which they could be organized. Myers said he also ob- tained a 2012 study, “Con- solidation Analysis and Next Generation 9-1-1 Implementation Study,” commissioned by the state Office of Emergency Man- agement.
