STATE HOUSE -- Rep. Robert Lancia (R-Dist. 16, Cranston) will host a summit for first responders on March 19, 2018 from 6-8pm at the Cranston Central Library. The goal of the summit is to raise awareness about the issues facing Rhode Island’s E-911 system and to discuss possible solutions.

Rep. Lancia, members of the Rhode Island Police Chiefs Association and the Rhode Island Fire Chiefs, as well as officials from the Rhode Island Medical Society will share their thoughts. The highlight of the evening will be the attendance and participation of Federal Communications Commission officials from Washington, D.C.
​
“I am very excited to sit down with our state’s first responders about this issue. These men and women are out there every day keeping us safe, but without a properly funded 911 system, their job becomes much more difficult. I want to give them a chance to share their insights and look for solutions outside of the state house,” stated Rep. Lancia. 

Rep. Lancia has worked to improve Rhode Island’s E-911 system after hearing concerns over funding and staff levels. Upon further investigation, Rep. Lancia found that the majority of the revenue intended to fund the 911 system has been diverted into the state’s general fund.

About rhode island house republicans


In 1636, Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island, established the first working model of Democracy after being banished from Massachusetts for his “extreme views” concerning freedom of speech and religion. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams publicly acknowledged Williams as the originator of these concepts, along with the freedom of public assembly, in the First Amendment in the United States Constitution. Today, Rhode Island House Republicans uphold the liberties designed by our Founders and preserved in our Constitution, and are the primary legislative body promoting lean government, fighting for lower taxes, and advocating for initiatives and policies that improve the economy and in turn, the lives of Rhode Islanders.  As members of a part-time assembly, we are small business owners, retired educators, community activists, lawyers, farmers, military service veterans, volunteers, former local officials, retired social workers, coaches, musicians, churchgoers and board directors -- bringing these community engagement and professional experiences to our work, on your behalf, at the Rhode Island State House.
