NYPD operators: 911 dispatch center crawling with bedbugs

NEW YORK — Please state the nature of your bedbug emergency.
The city’s 911 call center in the Bronx has been crawling with bedbugs for the past two weeks, and the NYPD won’t pull out its personnel to fumigate, several 911 operators told the Daily News.
Emergency call operators first found bedbugs in a sixth-floor training room at the Public Safety Answering Center II in Pelham Bay on June 3, and bug-sniffing dogs have been finding the critters in several rooms where NYPD personnel operate ever since, sources familiar with the building said.
