You need to get real. Fire, police and EMS dispatch have stringent requirements. Several people have brought up the issues with legal and insurance requirements, and if a dept doesn't meet those, they can have their insurance dropped, if (god forbid) something is mis-handled because of this lack, the dept and everyone in it will likely get sued, and the people responsible could even wind up in jail. It has happened here in Ohio-in fact, an entire city was disbanded and the mayor and police chief put in jail by the state for the way the police dept was run. It's not quite the same, but look up New Rome, Ohio.
