Brian Dissette, Berrien County Administrator 

Brian has been the B.C Administrator since 2020. Previously, he served as the City Manager of South Haven for 20 years. During the pandemic, they recognized the need to update the county’s infrastructure. One area that they focused on was the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in Benton Harbor on Empire Avenue. Since it was built 20 years ago, the number of dispatchers for the 911 call system has increased, along with the technical needs.

Sen. Kim LaSata worked with the county to secure $5 million for the project, and it was built in Buchanan. Now the whole county will be on the 800-megahertz system.
